Looking for a Pen Pal

 I am looking for a pen pal.  I am new to the surgery process. This means that I am still thinking about it.  I know I want to lose the weight just not sure if the surgery is right for me.  I am tired of the dieting yo-yo.  I have 4 kids that I am taking care of on my own and need to be heathy for them as well as myself.

Thanks in advance,

Elizabeth

I am new to the whole process too. I have only gotten as far as having my fanily Dr. fill out the required forms and mailing them off to whereever they go.  I am in the process of researching every scrap of information I can find on g.b. surgery.  I'm pretty sure I want to have it done. I have lost and gained so many times.  I can get 30 to 40 lbs. off only to regain it.  I just can't get down any more. I know 2 people that have had it done and they are happy that they had it done.  I went to a support group on Sun. and the post surgery people were all positive about their journey.  I wish you luck in making your decision. 

I would love to be a support person for you, if you can be a support person for me. :)

I am new to the process as well. I meet with the surgeon for my 1:1 on October 23. I know my PCP has already sent my medical necessity form. It's going to be a long haul though.

How did your one on one go with your surgeon. I still have not made up my mind.  The biggest thing is that I am a single mother and have no one to watch my kids for me for the time that I will be in the hospital. Hope to hear from you again soon!
