Just starting my journey finding out about the surgery

I am 58 soon to be 59. I weigh 450 and I weighed 200 in 6th grade. So weight has always been a part of my life. I am scared to have the surgery but I am tried of being heavy and triggering my asthma just walking. I want to have energy and be able to do things. I would like to learn about the surgery and afterwards if any problems. Pam

Pam, I have not yet had surgery but I am going thru the insurance motions and will wait to see if I get approved. In the meantime...check out this website through and through...it's great and answers many of your questions. Super support!! EMMC has a Weight Loss Surgical Center which is terrific. They have a great program and I would highly recommend it. Their inital class explains the procedure, nutrition and many other aspects of the surgery. They help with insurance, etc. Call....it may be your answer. C/
