  1. A couple of weeks ago, I started the 6-mo pre-surgery support group reqd by Kaiser for bariatric surgery. I have been leaning toward choosing lapband surgery and have been very grateful for people sharing experiences on LapBandTalk. However, I would also like to read the experiences of those who have had other types of weight loss surgery. Does anyone know of online talk forums for other types? Thanks and God bless your weight loss efforts! Janell
  2. P.S. I forgot to say congratulations on your surgery! I am excited to look in a few months and see that you're a lot closer to your weight goal. Janell

    COPD/Emphysema and WLS

    I have mild to moderate emphysema and a BMI of 40. Otherwise, my health is good. My pulmonologist said that even if I had to have open WLS rather than LAP, he says potential benefits of WLS makes it worth the risk -- because people with COPD do much better when thinner. I too would love to hear from people with COPD who have had WLS, to hear whether breathing benefits have been substantial. Thanks. Janell
