What an awesome story! Thanks for sharing with us. I agree with you that you reap what you sow. I have never believed in luck. God knows what he's doing and he helps those who help themselves. Nothing is a free ride. I appreciate your words. I'm going to print your post and keep it as a reminder throughout my journey and try to stay positive, focused, realize than I'm human, but that I can do anything I put my mind to! Many blessings to you! Thanks again!

Great job! I'm so proud of you! My surgery is a week from Friday and I'm so excited! Can't wait for the new chapter in my life!!! Thanks for sharing your results so far!

Thanks everyone for the incredibly detailed list of "things I won't miss..." Only those who have been there understand what it's like. My surgery date is May 16 and I CAN'T WAIT TO LIVE LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!!! I want to dress in beautiful, feminine clothes, that don't have an X in the size! I want to shop in the regular size sections of the department stores, and not ask where the "plus size" clothes are. It will be nice to shop for things that actually look good on me, instead of buying things that are the lesser of the evils.
When a person is a smoker, the doctors label all health issues on the fact that they smoke. When a person is obese, the doctors label all health issues on the fact that they are overweight. I am so anxious to not be labeled as either. (quit smoking 10 years ago).
These things, in addition to the same things other people listed above, are what keeps me focused on having the sleeve surgery. I can't imagine how wonderful life is about to become!!! I don't want special....I just want normal!

I am paying for the surgery myself too, and I believe it's the best investment possible. I will be saving money on actual obesity related health issues. But, more than that I will be living the rest of my life in "peace". I've tried so many weight loss plans and nothing has stuck. I'm so tired of putting so much mental and physical energy into something that bottoms out and does not "stick". It's very depressing. My surgery is $14,000 and I think it's so very much worth it to be able to live happier. They say money does not buy happiness....but in this situation I believe it does!!! Good luck to you!

Congratulations!!! I'm so happy to hear your good news! It seems like a lot of comments are posted where the patient is NOT doing well or having problems, so it's nice to hear your positive experience too! I want to hear everyone's comments so I can be as informed as possible when my surgery date comes up. I'm so excited to begin this new chapter in my life!!! Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work! Your positive attitude will help get you through anything!!! Thanks!
