Thank you to everyone who supported me with your kind words! I had my surgery on October 9 and am recovering very well. I'm having some issues with air...it seems like I swallow a lot of air when I eat and it hurts. I hope everyone is doing well on their journey...Someday I hope that I can help someone as you all have helped me!

Hi, I'm new to this site. I have surgery tentatively set for October 9. I'm obese, but not morbidly obese; but two of my doctors have recommended this surgery due to other complications including fatty liver disease. I love to cook and entertain and I'm afraid that I will be hesitant to do any entertaining after the surgery. I have tried all the weight loss diets and pills and going to boot camp four times a week for three months without losing any weight. I cant tolerate the stain drugs that would help with the cholesterol and fatty liver, so this is the last thing I have to try. Has anyone else had this kind of experience? Do I have faith in this opportunity? I'm scared, but think it will be worth the commitment to have better health.

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. I know that I need to do this, but I have read so many negative things! Congratulations on your success. I look forward to the same kind of results!
