Ruin's Angel

The only ones I know of are across from Methodist hospital in the South Sac/Elk Grove area but they are free and open to everyone. I need to make it over to one of those myself. Here's the 2016 schedule with the address.

I was told to lose between 40-50lbs before surgery and ended up losing 60 before surgery. As of a few days ago Inhave lost 16lbs since surgery 3 weeks ago and really notice it the most with the inches lost.

I joined a couple of bariatric support groups on Facebook and listened to those that have gone through both procedures to help me make my decision between the sleeve and the bypass. After a lot of research I have decided to go with the bypass and here are my reasons why:
1. Sleeve is not recommended for people with heartburn and acid reflux and I have a problem with this.
2. I noticed a lot of people that have had the sleeve reported frequent stalling of weight loss as well as more frequent regain as opposed to bypass patients.
3. I also need the discipline that gastric bypass provides. Just knowing I may dump from eating something bad (whether I actually do or not) is enough to stop me from eating it. I am afraid that knowing I would be able to eat whatever I want with the sleeve is going to make me do just that, and that may lead to overeating since I have problems with Portion Control and eating when I am not hungry.
Good luck with whatever you decide Phynale! Btw I am 392...

I just signed up for your site! I have been deleting myself off the BBW dating sites I'm on (that I never had any luck on anyway!) and I thought how cool it would be to find someone that has gone through or will be going through the same thing I am. It would make eating meals so much easier! I just wish more men knew about it but I will share it in my groups!

Fairly new here, having surgery in the next couple of months. I think a singles site/page is a great idea. I like the thought of having someone who is going through, or has gone through, the same thing I am and has to eat the same way I do!
