I'm very excited to be having this surgery. I've tried every diet known to man my whole life and failed miserably.
I'm hoping with this tool (surgery) I'll be able to achieve this time and be healthy from now on. :bigsmile:
I look forward to reading everyone's stories on what works for them and what doesn't.

    Good lucky, lady! I was actually watching a little bit of a documentary on the surgery today... it's a huge thing, very last resort.
    I hope it all works out great for you!

    Good luck. Hope it all goes well. We'll be here when you're ready.
  • I had the surgery 5 1/2 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did for myself. I know you've heard it a million times but believe me it's true ~ surgery is a tool, not the magic bullet. Stay focused, listen to your doctors (not family and friends that think they know what's best) and you'll be successful.

    Wishing you the best ~ D

    I had surgery 10 months ago. It is only a took it is so important to listen to every little thing your doctors tell you. I learned a few things the hard way.

    I am very excited for you. This will not be easy but it will be worth it!!!! Please feel free to add me as a friend.

    Best Wishes~Rhonda
