Looking for support!

Hi everyone. I'm a 19 (almost 20) year old college student. I had my consultation 2 weeks ago, and I'm trying to meet all my surgeon's goals. It all seems kind of overwhelming right now, and I really need someone to talk to. My #1 support person is my boyfriend, who has been wonderful through all this. He's took care of his Dad when he had WLS about 6 years ago, but is having a hard time keeping me motivated, as we both have really busy schedules (I'm a vocal performance major, he's a theatre tech major). So anyway, a fellow WLS friend would really help me right now, both to help keep me motivated and just to talk. Thanks a lot! **Hayley**

Hi there, I just had surgery (March 6th) I feel like I have alot to share with you even though it has not been that long since my surgery. There are so many things you go through even before the surgery I would love to share with you some things you feel right after and things you should be prepared for.
