NEWBIE/Undecided Looking for friends, info & support

I am new to the site today...I am just starting the process, live in the Bessemer area, haven't decided for sure about physician or type of surgery & looking for help...anyone?

Thank you

Michelle

Hi Michelle,

Whatever surgeon, whichever procedure...you have come to the right place for support.  The people here will love you, support you, and be your friend!  Welocme, ENJOY the JOURNEY!!!

Lisa

thank you Lisa, That is just what I need.

You can learn so much here!  I also recommend reading Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies-very informative book.  Best wishes!

Kim 

Thanks Kim, I will have to get that this week.  I have so much to discover & so far to go!  Nice to know there's friends out here.  Hope all is well with you & that you have a great week.

Hi Michelle.  Welcome to the Alabama board.  We have lots of friends on this board from your area so maybe they will jump in and give you some input on their physician and be a help to you in choosing one.  I had my surgery in Mobile so that is not in your range.  Sometimes our board is kind of slow so don't get discouraged.  Keep coming back and maybe we will get lots of info flowing your way.  Again, I am so glad to meet you!!!

thank you so much for the sweet welcome.  I see people here are very kind and make it easy to feel like you fit in, not like many other areas of life.  I'd love to hear about everyone's journey!  the area you had your surgery is close to my heaven on earth, Orange Beach!  My happy place!  I look forward to learning all I can from the experts here.
