Hello everyone, hope you all are having a good day.  For anyone who stops by this group to check it out I just wanted to say thanks for check it out.  I live in Norton, MA and I am having WLS on April 8, 2013 and at the suggestion of one of my doctors I decided to check out this website.  I also belong to a couple of websites about WLS also but I join these sites for what I believe they are best for; support and understanding.  Everyone can use a good friend, but when you decide to go through something like this not just any friend is gong to understand your hopes, dreams, fears and pain.  Friends can be there for you as a shoulder to lean on and listen to your concerns but only a friend who has been there or who has gone through all that it takes to even get to the surgery would really understand what you are truly feeling and how to lend you a more understandable support. 

My hope with group is to find local friends to talk to and maybe eventually get together with who will completely understand the whole process and can lend not only their support, or their listening ear, but can offer suggestions on things to try to get you through the rough spots or exchange recipes they have tried and loved or just share stories and ideas.... anything!  

Thanks again for stopping by, and if you live in the area please join the group and tell us your story.

Thanks,

Robin H.
