I feel amazing!! The first couple of weeks before and after surgery were tough because we have to do everything we weren't doing before; like portion control, watching what we eat and exercising, but it's all worth it. My only regret is that I didn't do it 3 years ago when I first heard about it. Right before surgery I was down to 322lbs from 352lbs. I had sleep apnea and high blood pressure. Now six months later, I'm down to 248lbs, no sleep apnea, no blood pressure meds, I can even run faster then my 10 year old son. I go to the gym a lot which helps tremendously but even if you just walk everyday you'll feel great! Some have more complications then others, so it takes more time to adjust to your new eating habits but I've never talked to anyone that says they wish they never got wls. Not sure if you wanna travel all the way to Queens for the support group. Ask your surgeon about any support groups near you. We have one guy that works downtown but he lives in Long Island so when they have the meeting he stops in on his way home.

Where at in NYC? I had my sleeve done back in June and I've been going to the post-opt support group meetings in Queens. Met some really supportive people there. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
