Hello everyone, I am new soooo glad I found this site. I have been searching for a while and now I have found it! I am excited and look forward to being apart of this forum for help and advice and eventually helping someone else. I will have Lapband or Gastric Sleeve, not sure yet which one is right for me yet, but I will make a decision soon, real soon.

Hello and Welcome to the 'Hood

Welcome!!

Make sure and ask lots of questions and read, read, read.

Welcome to the neighborhood! and congratulations!

Hi! Welcome to the Neighborhood. Lots of good info here. Glad you found us.

HI Welcome,
Good luck on your new journey, I had surgery 10-11-07, I have lost 94 lbs and feel great. I would make a suggestion, measurements, take them before WLS so when your weight loss slows, you can check your measurements to see if you are still losing. I wish I had taken my measurements but even on weeks I have not lost weight I can feel my clothes getting bigger. I wish you luck and pray you have a WLS that is pain free and you have a quick recovery.

Welcome to the neighborhood....


You have come to the right place .... you will learn so much here from reading older posts to asking new questions we are all here to teach, learn, encourage and praise each other ..... I would suggest start in the library thats the best place to begin also try reading many blogs its the personal words that will bring alot of your worries and questions to the point that you can make the best decision for yourself.... before long you will be helping a new neighbor settle in here and ease the worries that they might have.....settle in and get ready for a wonderful new lease on life, new friends and a awareness that you will treasure ....... hugs

There are tons of information here and tons of beautiful, smart, and nice people here....welcome to the "hood"
