So I finally decided to stop just stalking these boards and go ahead and put myself out there....Hi all My name is Marissa and this is my first post I have been thinking about getting the surgery for about 2 years and I am now in the third month of my "medically supervised" diet I will hopefuly be starting my classes with Kaiser in April. So I just wanted to say hi and see if anyone had any words of wisdom or encouragement it would be greatly appreciated and I also wanted to say how grateful I am to have so many great people to go to for their experience and wisdom!!!!!

Hey girl and WELCOME! :) Glad you decided to jump in and post with us! Good luck with your diet and hopefully everything will go great and youll have a date before you know it! If you have any questions feel free to ask. What surgery are you considering?

Hello Marissa,

I am also somewhat new. I don't do a lot of posting myself. I am also on my 3rd month of the supervised diet. Getting ready to soon start my 4th next week.
OH is awesome to me because I learn a lot of information on preparing for the new journey in my life. How are you doing so far on the supervised diet?  I have only lost 4.5 lbs so far.
It has been really hard.

Hey! 
I had gastric bypass almost a year ago. It has been the hardest, best, most rewarding year of my life. 

Are you looking at lapband or gastric?

Let me know how everything goes!
