Guest guest Posted November 11, 2000 Report Share Posted November 11, 2000 Hello Everyone, My name is Angel and I am new to " the Group " . I am 36 and have a BMI of 48. I am married to a wonderful and supporting husband. I have been heavy all my life and am very excited to be a part of this program. I have been watching from a distance and occasionally asking a question here and there but I have not taken the plunge and said Here I am.. so.... " Here I am " . From all that I have read, it is easy to see how much enthusiasm and care is shown to each other through this website and I am hoping to be apart of this big (but getting smaller " hee " " hee " ) family. My husband and I live in Winston-Salem, NC. and we have researched the other WLS and I feel that MGB is the one for me. I am at peace with this decision and I am looking forward to being able to live my life to it's fullest. We raise horses and I have not been able to ride in over 2 years. That will be one of the first things that I do when I get this weight off of me. I have sent in my application and have my PCP appt for this Tuesday. I am starting my contacts now and I am also working on my letter. If there is anyone out there that would like to share their experience with me, I would love to listen. The more I can learn, the better... I am also wondering about the meetings, how do you find out when and where they are going to be? I would love to attend a few. Best wishes, Angel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 12, 2000 Report Share Posted November 12, 2000 Angel, Beings you're so close to Durham you really should go to a clinic meeting. They are on Tues and Thurs each week at 1 p.m. Go to the clinic there will be a note on the door telling you which way to go.. You'll love it, you'll meet pre-ops and post-ops and you will meet Dr. R. and he'll explain anything you don't understand.. Good luck, Trudy Post Op 11-3-00 Introducing : " ME " Hello Everyone, My name is Angel and I am new to " the Group " . I am 36 and have a BMI of 48.
