1) Absolutely. I had so well prepared myself that it was relatively easy to adopt to different foods, different ways of doing thing. I wasn't even scared going under that I had made a mistake. Never once have I wished I hadn't done it. It is just such a relief to be freed of weight gain worries. Course I am only 4 months out, but it has become such a lifestyle it is like it never happened - I just eat a lot less than I used to and keep getting healthier.
2) Wish I had been prepared for additional hormonal changes. Although I had be menopausal for years, it appears I have had a reversal of all that.
I told my boss I was having a "female" surgery but needed to be on a special diet. I was out 3 weeks but did work online during the entire time. My boss is so happy that I had surgery because he says my attitude is much improved He thinks the weight loss is a bonus!
