For years I would not even consider surgery as an option for weight loss. I thought it was the easy way out. After doing more research and talking with more people and realizing that the surgical option is an option for someone like me, I started to let go of that thought and realize that I also deserve a chance at being successful in my weight loss, even if that means turning to a surgical team and asking for help.

Hey @jsulley, Jaci. I add my welcome. So great that you and your husband are doing this together. I encourage to explore the many discussions in the Bariatric Surgery & Weight Loss support group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/bariatric-surgery-weight-loss/)

@deggerah @wr61 @susanh824, what top tip would offer Jaci? What do you wish you had known when starting this journey?

Jaci, What questions do you have as you prepare for the surgery? Will you and your husband have the surgery around the same time?
