New Member Intro
Hello, and welcome!
A few suggestions: fill out your profile in as much detail as you're comfortable with sharing. The more you tell us about you, the better we can answer any questions you might have. Things that will help us are things like your age, your BMI, which form of WLS you're interested in, any health problems---because different forms of WLS are better suited for certain health problems---how long you've been obese, previous diet attempts, etc.
I also suggest you visit the various surgical forums. There are four major forms of WLS: LapBand, VSG/Sleeve, RNY/gastric bypass, and DS/duodenal switch. There are some big differences in how they work, what results they give, potential complications, post-op diets, and quality of life. You should also visit the Revision forum. This forum focuses on what to do when the surgery type you chose didn't give the results you wanted or needed.
Ask questions, but take all the answers with a grain of salt. (Even mine. *grin*) I recommend giving more weight to answers given by people who are at least three years post-op, simply because living with WLS is the best teacher.
