I'm New Here!!!

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 am sure you will be able to do it too, or atleast loose some on your own before the surgery. it is going to feel good:) feel free to add me for support

Dr. has informed of surgical options because of multiple medical issues but that scares me to death. So i am gonna do this one day at a time

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.
