I just met with the surgeon last week and he's having me go to a lifestyle class first. I'm just getting started with this process.

Tons of good information here. Read through the forums and see peoples' experiences and the pros and cons. Good luck with your WLS journey and decision.

May you find a surgery you can endorse, may you find a compentent surgeon to preform it
And may you live confidently with the bodily changes that will ensue . And most of all may you receive joy in your future days!???

Getting it will improve and change your life in a way you didn't think it was possible. It took me a while to do the leap, but I'm happy I did.

I’m new here too !!! I’m thinking about calling my dr for a consultation appointment today

Do it Shell06 & Amelia- most of us are so glad we did- and hope you will join us! I know I am much better off than I was before mine. And there are a lot of helpful people on here.

I did it I go June 16 th for my consultation ?

Best thing I ever did!!!!

I haven't regretted it once - not even on the two occasions I experienced dumping syndrome. The constipation after the surgery wasn't particularly enjoyable, but it was nothing that copious amounts of water and prunes couldn't sort out. So that's only two negatives as opposed to an enormously long list of positives - and I had to pay for my surgery. Worth every penny!

The only regret I have is that I didn't get it done sooner. Honestly, I was in more pain after my wisdom tooth surgery than this. I have struggled, dieted and battled with weight issues all my life. I have been exercising and dieting since I was 12! The quitting, the stalls and the no results. I am so happy with my decision.
