    Hi! Newbie to this site but had RNY in 2005

    Hi, New to the site and hoping to find fellow "graduates". Need to get back on the ball as far as protein, vits, meds, exercise, etc. Would love to find a group that I could bounce ideas off of - I sometimes find myself educating doctors about the procedure and the issues that have come up...
