Hi everyone. My name is Margaret White. I live in Javkson ,NJ and have started this group to help support others that have had or are having WLS. It is about good health, good choices, and feeling good about yourself.
I have had a weight problem all my life. I would go on a diet and lose weight. i would go off the diet and gain it all back and then some. One day I woke up and realized that I needed to do something. I had to make some good decisions and change my lifestyle or I was not going to see my children grow up. I decided to have WLS, Gastric Bypass to be exact. I went to a seminar and met with the surgeons. They told me that because of previous surgeries and complications I would not be a candidate for GP. I would do well with a LapBand and so I decided to go in that direction. Was I disappointed? Of ourse I was. I knew that GP patients lost weight quicker and that is what I wanted. Do I regret my decision at this time? absolutely not. I had my surgey on 04-30-10 and have lost 85 pounds to date. I have more to go but I am very happy with these results. AS Mick Jagger said "You don't always get what you want, but you'll find you get what you need". This procedure was less invasive and I had a very quick an easy recovery. I think that no matter what procedure you have, you have be mentally ready for the decision. The most important rule of the surgery is that it is just a tool, you still need to do all the work. But the good news is, it really works when you work at it. It is something that you see the results. They are tangible and make you feel good. Every time you need to buy clothing becasue your old ones are too big or someone looks at you and says "wow"; it makes it worth every ounce of chocolate you give up or every slice of bread. Never give up. Be positive and know that you will succeed. WE are here to help you reach your goal. 0 Responses to "WLS"4 commentsSign in to comment! Login Now. << Blog Home |
