My name is David, and on April 5, 2004 – my life changed. I underwent gastric bypass surgery. Hence the name of the web site: Stapled Up!

If you have undergone this dramatic life changing surgery or are considering it, my hope is that this web site will provide you with guidance, friendship and support. A strong support system is key in the long term maintenance of your ideal body weight. Remember: WLS is simply the tool – we must live every day of the rest of our life as patients.

As stapledup.com evolves, it is my hope that you check in often, learn from others and share your stories.

Thank you for being a member of our family – whether you are information gathering, lap-banded or just plain old stapled up! Enjoy the site and e-store, and check back often for updates and event announcements.

David
