      I met someone today whose mom had MS and WLS about 10 years ago. He said that the weight loss really made a difference for her. Thought I'd pass that along. It sounds really encouraging.

    I don't but just wanted to welcome you.

    I don't know if there is anyone on here who has it but you may want to ask your surgeon if he or she has had any patients with MS.

    Best of luck. I hope you are able to get your questions answered.

I don't know the medical constraints around MS and Weight loss surgery, but from a motivation point of view, it really works alot better if YOU really want it for yourself. It is not so easy... and during the low times you need that internal motivation, goals and dreams to fall back on.

    I just saw a post from @demonchick.

    I am also going to write out Multiple Sclerosis and Weight Loss Surgery so that if someone is looking for this topic it will be easier to find.

    I hope you find someone who can help answer your specific questions.
