Hi, everyone! I had been looking at this forum long before I had my surgery and found lots of answer to my many, many questions. I'm glad I decided to become a member. I have a pretty typical story - was heavy all my life and when I got into my later 20's starting having health concerns. My family history is ripe with terrible genetics and I knew I was next on the list if I didn't do something proactive. I have a lot of family that had never struggled with their weight, and sharing the same gene pool as me - baffled me as they ate massive portions at holidays and fast food for 2 meals out of the day, etc. You guessed it, never gained an ounce. Me? Oh, I could smell a chicken nugget and feel my thighs expanding. But I am thrilled with my results so far, everything went so smoothly from insurance approval through hospital discharge that I was actually expecting something to happen... I did have some blues at the beginning but they passed. I hit a stall early on, but it passed, too. I hope I can be in a position to give someone advice one day. Thanks for listening! I hope to post on another topic one day! I'll also put up some pics, soon enough.
