Hi All;

I am having WLS surgery on Sept 5, 2015 - I am having the gastric bypass, thought about the sleeve, but think gastric is better - I am real excited, have a great support group with my family & now I am glad I found this group on MFP :)

    Good luck on your surgery next week. I am pre-op, will probably have surgery in October.

    Hi all, I dont think I've been back for awhile -tomorrow marks 4 months since surgery, Since then I've lost 30.4 lbs - I weigh myself tomorrow so it will change - since February 2014 when I first decided to have surgery I've lost 64.4 lbs - I feel great, gotta get better at working out for sure though!

    Thanks TriksyJ! Do you have a surgery date set yet? There is another support group also, if you google daily strenghth(sp) - It's a good group and they have recipes also for post surgery and as you get on in life with WLS - friend me if you wish - I'm not here often, but I try.
