Hi everyone,

I would like to say hello to everyone. I am having my Gastric Bypass surgery on 21st June and I have been trawlling the internet for additional information and luckily enough was recommended this website by a very lovely lady I got talking to yesterday. :)

I just can't wait for surgery so I can begin to be in control of my obsessive eating for the first time in at least 30 years.

I hope you won't mind if I ask lots of questions.

Welcome Michele...I'm new too...I haven't posted too much, but have read a LOT...and learned a lot too...I have found a lot of great encouragement here..just by reading what people have gone through and things they've experienced. Good luck to you...I'm having my endoscopy on June 22, so I can hopefully have my surgery sometime in July.
