in Introduce Yourself
Hi everybody!
I am going through the motions of having gastric bypass surgery done. It hasn't been scheduled yet but will most likely happen some time this year. However, I want to try one last time before actually going through it to see if I can make a substantial impact on my own. This is the first time I am reaching out to a community of strangers who understands my struggle. Please feel free to add me. I want to be a source of motivation but also desperately need a support system.

    I really hope you stick with this. Many people here have lost close to 200 pounds.

    Surgery is dangerous, and you will still need to learn how to eat afterwards. Confront your issues head-on now, and save your own life. Only you can do it long term.
