Hi all,

I recently had gastric bypass surgery (4.20.11) and was encouraged to use this site by my dietician to track my progress. I'm looking for friends- whether you've had wls or not!- to compare weight loss experiences with.

Thanks!

    My name is Julia and I had my RNY on 3/18/11 and would love to have friends to share the journey with,since I often can't afford the monthly trip to my surgeon's office for the support group he sponsors.

    I had wls surgery, lap band, 3 years ago, and had it taken out two months ago for complications. I'm really scared about gaining the weight I lost back and would love to meet people and have some support too!

    I'm on the short list for the WLS. I'm in the pre-operative stage of preparation and going through the checks and balances that get me to the operating table.


    I may not have much to offer on the post op side but feel free to add me.
