Random thought - WLS...my how the times have changed
Hey everyone,
Since having my surgery in Oct. 2002, I must say I am amazed to see how things have changed. It seems when I had mine you only had a couple of choices for the type of surgery. Sometimes I wonder if I'd have waited, if I'd got LapBand instead. I am happy w/ how things have progressed for me for the most part but there are the what if's in the back of my mind. One thing I am very glad about is that there's so much more information out there for people making this life changing decision.
How long did ya'll research WLS b/4 deciding what you wanted to do? I am glad we all have each other to help us along the way.
All the best,
April

Hi April, well I am in the process of getting all my appts Taken care of so i can have the VSG. I first started to look into it about 4-5 yrs ago. But i was chicken. Recently due to pyhsical problems I am now serious about doing it. I first starting researching a few months ago. I thought i would do the band. But after going on the lapband forums & seeing all the problems one can encounter I got turned off. I went to a few seminars put on by local Doc's and bacame very interested in the VSG.
So thats what I'm going to do. I feel its the best choice for me and my personal weight issues.

April, What a beautiful name and evidently nice person. I could not agree more with you. The message boards need to rock and the amount of information is over the top. If the data is right the WLS is getting faster and better everyday. It's a personal choice which one but as the data keeps piling up it clear we have a way to save a life that needs to be saved. You know theirs doubts and second thoughts on everyone plate at some point but you make the best decision you can with the knowledge you have and then pull yourself up by your booth straps and march forward. It looks like your a wonderful person and we sure like to hear your success posts. We invite you and ask for your help in making all days brighter....Be A Rhino!!
