Leneda, welcome to ObesityHelp.com. I want to commend you on taking the first step toward your WLS. Although it's a hard decision, but a worthwhile one, it just takes some effort. I hope that upon your journey you will find time to e-mail me and let me know how it is going. I, also, am pre-surgery, however; I have been researching this for three years and if there is any information that I can help you receive please feel free to let me know. I am proud of you and the life changing decision you are making. Again welcome and if there is anything that I can do for you, I am here to support you 100%.
