congratulations on you descision to have wls. this forum has numbers of great supportive people. Our goal is a common one, to lose and maintain our weight. che ck in frquently. It is absolutley normal to be frightend. for me wls my best chance to eliminate all of my c0-morbities and live a new life. this is a lifelong journey with all kinds little bumps in the road and we will all be here to listen. I certainly don't have all the answers. I lost 120 and regained 50 after . 5 years after surgery our bodies seemto revert to its old desires for ood and a tolerance for carbs returns, I slowly gained 50 lbs over 3 years. Now I have maintained a weifht of 200-205 for a year and I am focused to get back to 160. I will do itthrough positive thinking and sharing with a group of other people on this forum.welcome.....patti

Walking down the isle at my youngest daughter's wedding Sept 2011 was hard. Going to the park and zoo with my Granddaughter. Edema, blood clots and swelling in both legs and lungs. Use to do wedding photography but can't keep up with the 20 something wedding party any longer. I have been sleeping in my electronic recliner for two years now and can't sleep in a normal bed or even a hospital bed. Used to perform music at open mics but don't have the energy any longer. These are the main issues I'm having my surgery this coming Monday morning. 4-9-12. Blessings and good luck to all of you.
