Here are some links that I visit often to research Weight Loss Surgery and to find out more about living as a post-op. I know that they have helped me alot to reach the decision to have WLS. I think they will help you too.
P.S. Yes, I know I have chocolate candy as the background for this page but I thought it was more cute than tempting. I hope you like it to :)
