My journey began September 2010. Due to health issues with other family members, a job layoff and then a job change within my company I have had to put off my surgery several times. NOW is my time. I will be having surgery within the next couple of months and will keep you posted on my progress.
I started this board because I remember how important having resources and support was when I had my hysterectomy in 2003. Educating myself on my surgical options at that time, researching and understanding all of my options was only part of going through a hysterectomy. The support base I found was essential through the entire process which is why I started this site.
I will not sugar coat my progress. I will post how I feel, what I'm going through and hope that those who join the site will do the same. The hysterectomy taught me the need to have a support network, but the gastric surgery is a different type of life change and we need continued support to succeed. Lets support each other to ensure we all succeed in our adventure.
