Wanted to write something on this fun site as i am looking for any advice going forward in my new journey to health. Do not know rules etc so feel free to guide. I went in for Gastric bypass last week and was weighed in at 211 i am 5'7 60 yrs old (a kinda youthful 60 ha ha)... anyways in pre-op i actually had my Doctor paged and told him to do sleeve instead of full by pass. Procedure was performed i am now 4 days in healing. Doing ok. My pre-op "classes" and preparation for what the heck to do now and ongoing is waaay lacking tho. Any suggestions? i know not what to eat.... well i know phase 1,2,3 stuff a bit. But just in general looking for direction or maybe sites you recommend or groups or a mentor? So appreciative AND lucky for this opportunity in general !! Irene

I just now am looking at BariatricPal.... will have surgery in Feb. (waiting for ins.). I am so torn between bypass and sleeve... am ok-ed by Dr. for either. I THINK I would be ok with 50 lb reduction (from current 230) but am not the most disciplined female. 60 yrs old. Any advice ? Thanks

um, hey.... i am so out of my element.... i want to figure out which surgery i want (by jan 20th), how do i ask people that? sign me, NON TECH
