Welcome! This is a great community of people who are on the same journey. You can post here or be added as a friend. The MFP family are helping to keep me on track, stay motivated, & give great advise. Best of luck!

Well Stephanie...ur a step ahead of me. I feel kinda' the same way so I sort of sent an email to my surgeon w/some words that helped to get me additional info on what steps I need to take. I've decided on the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG); won't do the Roux-En-Y...too invasive & family members have had problems…

I'm sorry to hear this, but I too can relate. I'm fortunate that my mom is supporting, but the rest of my family...whole diff ball-park!

Hi Laura, I'm very new to this...just a few days. I feel ur pain, I've been in physical therapy for a torn meniscus in my r/knee (it's pretty much shot). I attend once a week & am managing on my own to do at least 1-2 more days of walking, elyptical, and/or strength training. I lose then I gain, it's extremely FRUSTRATING.…
