Hey there,

I found this forum today and have been reading the posts. I've been thinking about having surgery for a while. Like so many others, my weight has been a lifelong struggle. I think that surgery would be a tool to help me get my life back. I miss feeling good and being active. I have so many questions....hopefully many of which will be answered at the seminar I am attending on 1/22/11. I am excited to start this journey, I just hope I get approved!

Hey ask away no question is too dumb or forward. I had my procedure 12/14 I have lost roughly 60lbs since. I am a former athlete and I cant wait to get back to my old athletic self. In just the 60lbs alone i feel more energetic and lighter on my feet . Best decision i've made in quite a while.
