Help My mom :)

I am 26 years old and am preparing for WLS and my mom is getting a little worried. The state next to us has had a few people die from deaths so i thought i would set her up with an account here and she could see the brighter side to this surgery. I know everyone here has helped me so much so if you have a minute and can respond to her i would really appreciate it. I am going to teach her how to post to incase she has any questions to ask. Thanks again for all your support Melissa

OOps, I see you did find out state message board.

Melissa-As a mom, I can understand how your mom is worried about you. That is part of being a mom-we worry about our children. I have children about your age and I have had the surgery. I researched this surgery thoroughly and for years before deciding on it. The most important thing you can do is choose an experienced surgeon. The only regret I have is I wish I had the surgery when I was younger and could have been healthier while raising my kids. If you or your mom have any questions, please feel free to email me. Best wishes and good luck. Lynda ME/FL
