New to Forum Surgery 3/9/2010
Welcome! I found the support on OH to be incredibly helpful. I got many, many questions answered quickly. I figured out that my experience was similar to many other people. I found great food options. Finally, many discussions were thought-provoking and helped me to sort through the bypass experience.
Hi Fenile!
Welcome to a great board. Congrats on your surgery next week. My biggest advice: listen to your doctor and ask questions of your doctor, your nutritionist, and people like us who are on this same journey. Remember that everyone is different and some doctors give slightly different directions. I also strong suggest that you get involved with a local support group that has meetings. People are much more successful with their weight loss after WLS and keeping it off if they are actively participating in a WLS Support Group.
