I found out about WLA through my mom's hair stylist. She told me about one of her family members and a friend that had it done. I and my husband made plans for me to go. I didn't even think about it too long or I may have chickened out. The doctors, nurses, and hotel staff made me feel right at home. I enjoyed getting to know the other patients. I am so glad I had this done. Since then at home I am finding that more people than I realized have had this surgery with good results. Upon seeing a gastric sleeve friend eat a salad, I told her how much I missed salad. She told me to just wait, that while I couldn't eat the variety that I would learn portion size and I'd be able to have salad sooner than I thought. tip from a video I saw - buy some nice small cups, saucers, and bowls to eat from (1/2 cup)
