Hello everyone. I'm new to this website and I'm working on my story and will post it very soon. I just wanted to stop by and say "hi."My journey started on may 21st when I went to orientation at Crozer Medical Center in west chester Pa.

My surgeon was Dr.Katz..(He is the best) and the hospital staff was wonderful..From when I started my tests to Post op .It was great experience..I was on the fence about this operation for about 4 years..but finally made the decision to go for it..Sometimes I forget I had anything done..Except for when I eat I just get full fast.But I am in tune with my stomach it kinda makes this feeling and I know its full..I do not try to eat anymore.I have never got sick or anything like that..I just still have to learn to chew more before I swallow it down..That stuck feeling gets me scared...so I walk to digest it..My body has changed so much I hardly recognize it..I go to the gym 3 times a week..so i can tighten this extra skin..I want to give a big thank you to my husband charlie.He has been a

big supporter for me...I couldn't do it without him..Thanks for reading...I will post more later.
