Hi Carlie,
I applaud you on your decision to have WLS. I am just over 4 months post-op from Lap RNY and couldn't be happier. In June I finished my 3rd Masters Degree at CSUN - so we have been fellow student at Northridge. I live and work in Glendale. If you need to talk about WLS, email me and we can work out the details. Don't be overly concerned about the lack of family support. Probably, they are just really scared. I'll bet they change their minds when you are out of danger. Keep a happy attitude. Susan
