Thanks everyone for the very warm welcome!

A little about me...

I am 36F, mother of 2 girls and a boy, ages 16, 12 and 11. I work in a family practice clinic where I am office manager, personel manager, OSHA coordinator, AR/AP manager, and general flunkie to the doctors I work for lol. I am looking forward to getting this weight off so that I can have more energy for my job and my hubby/children. I live a very active lifestyle between kids sports (baseball, soccer and football), high school marching band, and other things. My surgeon is Dr. John Baker in Little Rock, Arkansas. I look forward to hearing everyone's story.

Hi Lori, welcome to b2g!

As you've already seen, there are lots of friendly people here and they've all been where you're standing right now - right on the edge getting ready to jump off into the unknown! If you have questions or just need someone to hold your hand if you're nervous, you're in the right place.

There's a great thread called "It's All About YOU" if you want to read some of our stories. We're looking forward to reading more about yours.

Best wishes on your upcoming surgery and on your weight loss journey!
