What a drastic change. Tomorrow will be my 7 month anniversary and I am 80 pounds lighter. I don't think I've ever been in a size 8 jeans, but heck -- it's happened now!! The insurance did deny our appeal so we are paying for the surgery -- but everyone has been wonderful to work with us. If you're looking into this surgery I can't say enough good about it. I had no complications and am eating fairly normally. It is so wonderful to be carrying around so much less of a burden now. Thank you to everyone for their support and Best Wishes to those just beginning the journey.

I am 12 days post op and am doing pretty well. I am still on liquid diet though I hope that will change starting tomorrow when I go to see Dr. Watson. I have already had my tube and stitches out and am walking around just fine. Thanks to everyone for their support and best of luck to everyone who is looking into having this done. I have lost 15 pounds since the day before my surgery.

So close to a new you and so many emotions! I haven't had mine yet but am hoping for this summer. My thoughts are with you before,during, and after. Keep up with the posts. They do help. With each reply you get there are 10 others you have helped or touched in some form or way. Listen to your peers and mostly your Dr. and support group. they know what you need. I'll be watching for those updated posts!
