Hi, My name is Melissa. I am 34 y/o I have 3 kids. I am interested in having wls. I am scared to death and very confused. I have been big all my life and I am worried about my health in the future. I don't enjoy anything in life because I am big. I have went for an initial consult and the psych consult but that was as far as I got. I need to get back on track and do this. Maybe I will be happier, But I am scared. Please help me to learn more about this. Thanks Melissa.

Hey Melissa, Nice to meet you, my email is [email protected] email me any questions you may have, and I will help anyway I can. I tell all good things and some bad, but all in all I would have this surgery over and over again. I am down 179lbs which makes me 188.5lbs from 367lbs Have a great evening and email with any questions at all. God Bless, Sherry

I would love to have a penpal! My revision surgery is next week, Dec 7th and I sure am getting nervous. I look forward to being able to do things again, and have waited about a year for this. I have gone to plenty of support meetings but really have not made any "friendships" and I would love to have someone that has been through this journey to write to! Please email me at [email protected] Laura R CT
