Welcome Teresa- I have found the people on this bored to be very supportive. Myhusband always kids me when he see me on this website about talking to my online support group. I told him without the people here to talk with I would go crazy sometimes. It is very relaxing for me to log on and read everyone's advice. Best of luck on you WLS journey. Hugs- Charla

Does anyone know someone that has has the surgery several years ago? I am concerned with the future changes in medical status. Is it possible for the body to stay healthy years from now with such drastic changes?

Teresa, Welcome aboard. This site is the absolute best thing to happen to many of us. The support is great and the questions you have sometimes get answered before you have to ask them, as someone else will ask. I wish you the very best in your journey. Keep in touch. Brenda
