bankladyt 12 Posted March 13, 2013 As I have been obese my entire life and struggled to lose weight and regain it time and time again. I started to seriously consider WLS. Soooo, I consulted with my insurance, researched local surgeons, and submitted my getting started paperwork. I am looking for support from people who understand the struggle and reassurance that this is a good decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadtosaygoodbye 256 Posted March 13, 2013 I also made the decision in January 7th and I am 8 days post-op. I can say this was the best decision I have ever made, following marriage and children. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beba238 123 Posted March 13, 2013 WELCOME!!! I Over thought the decision for almost 4 years hoping i could do it on my own. I got my act together. I am finally getting surgery in a week. I'm still in shock but I am anxious. We are all here for each other. Don't hesitate to ask ANY questions. Good luck!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
