Don't allow "following in your mom's footsteps" in terms of weight gain be an option. It's only an option if you allow it to become one. Understand that weight gain IS possible, even with these major surgerys, but it can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle and staying focused. Good luck!

It is unfortunate but undeniable that the surgery can be defeated. When all is said and done, the bottom line is that it's all about lifestyle changes. The first time I heard "lifestyle changes" from my surgeon it scared me right down to my toes. Very intimidating. That said, I can't imagine any more powerful motivation than your concern for your daughter and your sister. This forum is an amazingly valuable resource and it doesn't cost a dime. Here you can read real stories from real people with real successes - and real failures. You can read about struggles. And you can read about solutions. You can read about fears. And you can read about overcoming them. You can ask any question without fear of judgment. We've all been there at one time or another. This is "reality TV" Internet style. Take your time. Post comments, share your fears, ask questions and carefully consider your options. There is nothing you cannot be, do, or have.

I'm just starting, too We're all in the same boat, which is great for support! Did you set your initial consult with your surgeon?
