 I am new to this site but not new to this issue. I had surgery 10 years + ago. What is your status? True, it would be nice to have someone to talk to as you go along this journey. More importantly you need to get and stay informed. Have you done your research? Do you know the consequences of this surgery? Have you planned for the difficulties ahead? Believe it or not some of the difficulties arise out of arriving at your goal and finding it no better than where you started. Not to scare you, just be advised, you must prepare! To lose all that weight is truly a wonderful and powerful experience that is a life changing event; one I know will be quite gratifying. I am the voice of experience, use me. I know alot and am willing to share and I am sure you have many questions. My procedure was a Bilio Pancreatic Diversion. Quite extremetors actually considered safe just 10 years ago. When I took on this venture there were only 10 Doctors in the Mid-Atlantic Region who performed any type of gastric procedure. There was only 1 in Maryland.

I would enjoy having a pen-pal. I have never had one. I am 52 Divorcee, with 2 grown children. I would like to get to know you. Take Special Care.
