Robs 9 Week Update….

[Munchkin]

Great post Rob! Please keep us posted as time marches on. The greatest help to those waiting for their surgeries or recently post op is to hear the myriad experiences of those of us who've been through it. Text book info helps...but it's personal stories that will make things "real" to folks here desperate to learn. Everyone needs to understand that we are ALL DIFFERENT and our bodies will respond in different ways to the surgery, diet plans, medications , etc. But we will also have much in common, and sharing detailed experiences on this forum has helped literally hundreds of good people have a better overall experience with their surgery of choice. Whether a sleeve only or DS , RNY , etc . this site is a veritable life saver to many. You may notice I didn't include the wretched lap band surgery in the list because it's a horribly flawed procedure that should be banned immediately! Do NOT get me started...!!!

Agree with you about the crap band.

Rob, I am so glad you posted this here. I am trying to soak it all in as I prepare for surgery. I have read peoples posts but now that i have a date for surgery, it is more real and the info means more to me.

I'm so glad you could find value in it. I think it is SO important for us to give back part of what we took by getting the help from all these knowledgeable people on here. If I can help one person, with my story, idea, perspective or whatever then it was all worthwhile.
