Hi Everyone

 My name is Rebecca and I am a research student getting my nursing degree in obesity and diabetes. I was in law enforcement for many years and now am switching to someting that will, with any luck, not get me shot . I have a dear friend who is considering this WLS and I am doing everything I can to help her. Along  the way if anyone would like to give me input on their own experiences I would appreciate it. My research group is compiling data to be able to write a grant that might assist people with follow up therapy , both before and after WLS.
Thanks for your time. Rebecca

For insight into why people choose WLS, our stories, our experiences etc, check out our profile pages. You should be able to find a lot of helpful information in our postings there. Wishing your friend the best of luck in her wieght loss journey. Also wishing you the best of luck getting your degree.

I have been doing just that, and I must say , I am amazed at all of you
I am half way through both the study and my degree and I can tell you obesity is the biggest health challenge this country is facing.  We just have to wake more people up to it, and start fighting it.
