For the Benefit of DS Newbies--Pls Photo ***** on This Thread
Hi everyone! I am the infamous newbie Nicolle is talking about. She basically covered my story in 2-4 lines~ she is an awesome writer, I noticed! And she is 100% spot on! Have been overweight all my 35 yrs with $$ poured down the drain through Weigh****chers, Jenny Craig, diet pills, you name it.... I have lost, I have gained, I am Disgusted and need help! And so begins the research. I will be honest in saying that I never even heard of DS until Nicolle. Several nurses on my unit have undergone lapband and bypass. I just assumed Gastric Bypass was the big gun. So needless to say, I am now exploring all my options Thank you to all who have already sent kind words of encouragement and Amazing pics!!!! Wow!!! And to Nicolle, for being my champion in this start to my WLS journey!!!! I will see u Oct 17th~ come hell or high water..... or traffic :)
I just joined OH.com last night and am still exploring the site. Any and all info regarding WLS would be wonderful. Thanks again!!!!
