NEW to this board :)
Hi everyone,
I am in the beginning stages of my research of WLS. I am 26 years old, BMI of 49 and have decided to look at my options for WLS (yo-yo dieted since I was 14, Slim Fast, Weigh****chers, Curves, Atkins...etc...)
Just wanted to introduce myself :)
Also, I am leaning towards DS, and noticed that there are not alot of DS girls on the In Your 20's board, just wondering if there is a reason?

hi- taking a stab at your name- jenn?
welcome to the board. good luck on your research. I think the general reason why there are less DS people on the board is that DS is a less common surgery these days, nothing too conspiracy-like. At least in the US, RNY is called the "gold standard" and therefore it's what the majority of the people have.
I'm 21 and have dieted much like you... although I ususally did low carb ones when I was dieting, and Ive never done weigh****chers.
There is a DS board too, which may have more help/info when you have those specific questions we may not know. thanks for introducing yourself to us, hopefully we'll hear more from you soon

As someone told me lately, everyone deserves the chance to fly!
hey jenn, wellcome to the board. here you`ll find a lot of people who had or are having the same experience as you. you gonna love it.
I`m a RNY´er. but reserch more about the DS. it sounds intersting. the only thing it`s that is kindda new procidure and there is not more information about long term results. but i think it`s a very good option if you find a good surgeron. it definidly should be in your top list. keep the reserch.
see ya around. and wellcome again
