L, good luck to you as you make your way on this journey. Do your research, find out as much as you can about the different types of WLS out there, figure out what will be the best for you. Find a surgeon that you trust and ask for his personal statistics on complications and mortality. Don't rush into anything, take your time and be an informed consumer. This surgery has truly been a miracle to me, I hope it will be the same for you. {{{HUGS}}}
