Smile Hi all!

Hi all, I have been thinking about having the gastric bypass surgery since a friend of mine got it a few years ago. I have tried diet after diet, everything from weight watchers to atkins to no avail. So I have finally decided to go under the knife, lol. I am attending my first seminar on the 15th!

Welcome and what a gift you are preparring to give yourself with the choice to go forward to this surgery.

Educate yourself about the possibilities and most importantly keep yourself and you hopes and dreams included in this process, as really taking care of you is the most important part of doing this.

All the best to you.
