Hi!

Hello Everyone! I was scheduled to have weight loss surgery on February 6th but decided to try calorie counting and exercise first before I go to that extreme. With some discipline and hard work, I am looking forward to accomplishing my weight loss goals.

    I think you'll do great on here :) Many ppl make the decision you do, to try the site after they've wondered about WLS and they've been very successful here. :) Welcome!

    Great decision--surgery should always be more of a last resort.
  • I know people in the WLS business and I know unless the habits/way you interact with your own health change, even WLS tends to fail (at least in part). So I think it's a wise choice. Take stock, see what's going on inside. What habits need tweaking and all. This is a good place for that. Good luck.

    I had considered it at one point a few years back. I started using this site in April of 2014 and have managed to loose 126 pounds. I've seen the struggle my brother and sister had on their surgery and am thankful i didn't choose that route.
