I'm not familiar with the South Beach diet. I'm going to have to look into it. Thanks for the tip! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for the information! I've read that it doesn't work too well with all the Protein needed post-op. I agree with you about the focus on the scale. I've joined before, and that's what it was. It seems that they are no longer focused on the number but on wellness. It was my first meeting in a few years and I was surprised that they didn't have a weight loss celebration. Maybe they're truly starting to get it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm in the middle of that now actually. I haven't gotten as far into the process as you, but I felt the same way about the surgeon with my first consultation. Although I'm doing the sleep study through the first surgeon, I'm doing everything else with the second one who took the time with me and didn't rush me in anyway. The second surgeon is willing to take the sleep paperwork bc it was from a bariatric program. You have to go with who you feel comfortable with. I'm scared of getting the surgery; I've been dragging my feet on it for about 10 years. Now, I make sure I'm with an experienced surgeon who takes the time for me. Good luck!!

Hey everyone! I'm new here, and this is my first post. I'm just starting the process and hoping to get sleeved in December. I joined weight watchers as a part of my weight management. I met the leader today and told her why I was there. I was worried what she might say because I've read how some have experienced negative comments about WLS at WW meetings. It was just the opposite! She was supportive and told me that WLS can be a good tool, and she has several people that come who have had surgery as well. She said I can keep that confidential if I like, and with WLS and WW together, people have had great results. I was just so happy for the positive experience with her. Does anyone else do WW after having surgery? How are you doing with it? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
