  • Thanks for all the support. I know SWL isn't for everyone. And just to update you all, I HAVE lost 10 lbs already!!! I start the 2-week pre-surgical liquid-only diet on June 6th for my June 20th procedure so I am now far more confident that I will meet my surgeon's mark of 15-20 by then!
  • Thanks for the tip, MOS. I will check them out! It's interesting to see that people who use a fitness/weight loss tool like this would not support everyone else with the same struggle. I'll have to give that some thought! Anyway, I will take your advice and limit my posts to a more WLS-friendly forum as well!
  • Thanks for the site, Birdgal. I will check it out. I realize that many people do not understand what motivates someone to consider bariatric surgery. My motivations come from both medical and quality of life issues.
  • Actually, I have already had a bariatric surgery, 15 years ago. This is a revision for medical reasons not by choice. Your questions/challenges about bariatric surgery are fair ones, though, and frankly it is common for people to misunderstand the point of bariatric surgery. Gastric Bypass (GP) is a permanent weight loss…
