Hello; I am a 36 year old woman who needs to lose 170 pounds and I have a 10
year old Autistic son, so I understand the need to be around to take care of
your child issues. I am embarking on the gastric bypass surgery, I have studied
alot online and some by watching different television specials and have talked
to a few people whohave had it done. I know it is serious surgery, but so is
being morbidly obese. I would encourage you to talk to some people who have had
the surgery done... research it online... there are many personal stories
available and arm yourself with knowledge. Then make a decision. Good Luck!
