Thanks Wayne. Right now I am trying to get over the last minute (or maybe I sould say last month) jitters about making this decision. How much pain were you in right afterwards?? Do you work, and if so how long did you take off?

Barbie, I totally understand the jitters, I think everyone has them, my thoughts were I can do this myself, I dont need this surgery. What if I fail?

Almost 1 year later I am so happy with my decision, the best choice I could have made.

I had surgery on Thursday and went back to work on Tuesday. The pain wasnt to bad, just make sure you stay hydrated, just lots of small sips of Water. The first couple days were uncomfortable, by Monday I was feeling pretty good.

Those are my exact feelings! How much have you lost? Did you have a lot of support? My family knows, but I haven't told anyone from work. I started a blog, because reading some other very inspirational blogs really helped me to make my decision. I am taking a week off of work...I am sure that should be enough time.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
