New to Weight Loss Surgery Forum

Good Evening Everyone,

   I'm new to the WLS Forum. So  I'm looking to find some help to understanding the WL process. I'm 3 months into the process. I've lost 10 lbs. of my 40 lbs. needed for surgery. I have a genetic history of weight problems. So I need all the help I can get. I'm 5'5" and weight 527. I have 2 kids. A 7 yr old and a 2 yr. old. So I need to get this done for a healthier life for myself but for them as well. 

Thanks

Angela

Welcome!  You are in the right place.  There are wonderful people with a wealth of knowledge about this process.  Read as much as you can and ask questions.  This is a wonderfully supportive group.  

Welcome to the forum.  There is a wealth of information here.  When I found it I just kept reading the day before and on and on til my eyes were crossed.  If you come to a point that you want specific information there is a search tool at the top right that looks like a magnifying glass. Click on that and search away.  

Welcome to the forum!!

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome! I read here for months before I had surgery. Now this place is part of my daily routine. The menu thread keeps me accountable and I like seeing other peoples protein forward menu ideas. 

Welcome to the forum, and good luck as you start this new journey!

Welcome!  Read as much as you can...you'll learn so much.  At the top of yhe page you'll see some headongs...click on those too for more info.  The magnifying glass at the top is the search feature, so you can find specific posts on any topic you're interested in.  Good luck on your journey!

I'm so glad you found us!

As you continue to learn more about wls, take a look at the Duodenal Switch.  With your pre-op weight, it's going to give you the most aggressive results.  Your surgeon may not do that procedure, but it's worth the effort to get it.

Hello and Welcome. 

This is a fair, rational place. It is a valuable resource for all things WLS (weight loss surgery). Good luck, and again, welcome.
