Hi everyone. I'm a newbie here and new to the process. I have my first consult appt with the surgeon at Sinai hospital of Baltimore, dr Li. I am leaning heavily towards gastric bypass vs my other options. Just looking for some advice, a pen pal, and some insight into the process. Thanks so much

Hi! I just turned 27 and my surgery is on Tuesday! Welcome to the forum. I'm still pretty new here too. If you have any specific questions I'll be happy to try and answer them for you.

I'm in Frederick MD. My surgeon is in NoVa but I'm only 2 weeks into the process. I walked into the office sure I was going to have a sleeve, but now I'm set on the bypass. My surgeon talked about the pros/cons to bypass and sleeve and let me pick. He was leaning toward BP and I ended up there with him.

Hi newbie congrats on your choice to be healthy, this is going to be an exciting time for you, I had to do. 6 month weight management and I will be meeting with the surgeon on Wednesday to get a date, this is a great forum to learn, share, vent, and get ideas .I look forward to following your journal.
