Hello everyone!

I just joined this forum today. My name is Lynn and i live in Tomball, TX. I am in the early stages of my surgery journey. I met my surgeon last week and really like him. I have appointments with a psychologist and dietician next week, and I'm praying my surgery will be scheduled for September. I am glad to be here, so I can learn as much as I can from all you wonderful people. God bless you all-and hope I can help some of you someday as well.

Thanks and same to you:) i was told i would see the psychologist once as well as the dietician. idk what other things i have to do besides pre-op stuff . by reading it seems all surgeons are different. i'm glad we can learn from other ppl about what to expect beforehand.

Hi Lynn, I'm in Houston. Almost 4 weeks since my surgery and things are going great. I've found this forum to be very helpful and I'm sure you will as well. Let me know if I can help!
