Gwen,

Thanks for the heads up. I'm brand new to this sight and just getting started on my journey with WLS. I look forward to looking over your suggestions.

I have been engaged with this sight since March 2008, but I was reluctant to post a comment or reply until now. I appreciate this site and all the wonderful information it provides.

I had the by-pass on May 27th. My beginning weight was 256lbs. I am currently at 222lbs.

Maybe later I will write more on how I feel and my experiences as of date.

Have your doctor sign in and join us here! My nutritionist jotted down the name of the site to pass it on to a few of her patients! Otherwise, print out this page. Hi weallen's doctor!!!
