Hey! Well, I suppose I will keep this short considering we are all on here because we want the support of others struggling with the same weight issues we face. I have not always battled a weight issue, but following high school, I began to gain weight at an alarming rate. College, marriage, and 2 children later, I am 30 years old and defeated by my weight war against my own body!
Like most of you, I have tried it all; the diets, the programs, personal trainers, and much more! I have taken the last year to research my options for WLS. I found an amazing surgeon, Dr. Troy LaMar, submitted my paper work, and within 4 days was approved by my insurance company. I have a surgery date scheduled for June 10, 2010 for the gastric bypass.
The more information I have the more relaxed and calm I become. I love to here step by step replays of what was helpful for people right before and following gastric bypass surgery. I truly like to know the good, the bad, and the really bad! I want to know what protein shakes people tend to enjoy, what suggestions people have for the monotony of a liquid diet for the 6 weeks post op, and books people find helpful, informative, and useful for this new journey.
Thanks for viewing my page and please be sure to post a couple of things you find helpful during this exciting new start to my life!
God Bless
Kristen
