Hi all

[NorthShore]

My name is Jim. I live along the north shore of Lake Superior and am having gastric bypass next Thursday. I think, like everyone, I'm terrified of all of the things that could go wrong but decided a few months back that the benefits far outweighed the risk. I am fortunate to have a partner who is very supportive. One of the difficult things I've encountered is the lack of any support groups or systems up here. I'm VERY happy I found you guys!
