Hello and welcome to my website. I have made this website so that I can offer help and advice to weight loss surgery patients, inspiration to pre op patients, and to share with you my weight loss journey. When I first started researching weight loss surgery, I needed a place to add the information I was reading so that it was all in one place to clarify my reasoning for WLS for myself, and to allow others to benefit from the research I was doing too. I have added to this over the course of the last 5 years. I have a 25 year nursing background and bariatric surgery has become a passionate subject for me, not just because it has given me my life back but also because it is such an incredible subject. Food can either rule us or we can control it. Once we take the step of having bariatric surgery half the battle is won, but the rest is down to us. It's NOT the easy option and it is not the short cut, but for many many overweight and unhappy people it IS the answer. I hope you enjoy your time on my site. I would be grateful if you could leave me a comment in my guestbook to let me know what you think about the site and I am always open to comments on how to improve the site.
