That's a pretty drastic statement. I trust you can back it up???

I just read a thread on here (in the last week) that talked about several cases... I'll see if I can find it again.

This is the post I based my comment on. You can contact the posters for more info.

100% yes, I would have it again! I have never felt better or been as small as I am in my life (well probably pre-teen years, but can't remember them). I also do not have an appetite almost 1 year out, nor do I get cravings. This has been the best thing I have done with the exception of marrying my hubby and having my kids!

Of course! Best thing I ever did. Almost 23 months out! Your restrictions do start changing though at about 18 months.

I would do it over in a heartbeat! I'll be 4 months out tomorrow and down 77lbs. I'm only 24 and I'm so glad I did this early in life so I can enjoy he rest of my life with my husband and kids!

I'm 4 days away from being out 6 months (surgery April 18). YES I'd do it again in a New York minute. WHY? 1. Long-term health--no more "trending up" blood pressure and blood sugar. 2. Check the ticker--down 90 pounds. NINETY freaking pounds that I will never see again--and more to drop!!! 3. Wearing cute clothes! I'm wearing leggings today--I feel like shouting that--because I have NEVER worn leggings before. EVER. 4. Travel for work is no longer embarrassing or a potential source of stress. It's pleasant--I fit in the plane and rental cars easily. 5. Not being treated like the invisible fat woman--people actually make eye contact and smile now!
Awesome, I am inspired. Thanks for sharing.

Yes! No doubt! I have lost 75 lbs so far since the start of this journey. Like may others, blood work is better than ever. EVER. Everything is in the normal range. I have never seen that. Doc took me completely of cholesterol meds. A1c at 4.95. What diabetes?

YES!

I a now down to 205 pounds from 278 pounds surgery was March 13, 2013.

I am very happy that I had the surgery.
