I think it's great that you have made this decision for yourself. I too have had people who don't understand, but that's okay. I am so glad you're doing it now. I am 57 and 4 days post surgery. I wish I had done it 20 years ago. I feel I've missed out on so much for so long. Hang in there, you're gonna do great!!

Have you explored the "financing" route with a US doctor? I don't know what my doctor's programs are, though I know he has some. I think he's an excellent doctor and his reputation is awesome. Hopefully you will get help from some others on here. Take care.

I have a friend who told me to be sure I deal with the issues around food that got me here in the first place. She didn't have a "death" story, but she told me about a friend who had WLS and traded food for alcohol and now she is a "skinny drunk". I know she's right about dealing with the issues, but I hope she can be supportive of me. If not, well, I guess she's not a true friend.

Check out Chocorite brand protein powder, I get the vanilla so I can add all sorts of flavors. I also really like the Atkins redimade shakes. I'm trying to stay strong right now, cause I'm 4 days post-surgery and haven't started losing even though I was warned it might happen. They took away my prescription diuretic and I know I'm retaining lots of fluid, but I know it will get better. Congrats on all the positive action you have taken!!
