Hello my name is Karina from NY I had my surgery done on September 2012 I was 248 I have lost 100 lbs I am down to 148 this has been the best decision I made in my life. I feel so healthy and energetic I just want to let all those people having second thoughts about getting the surgery is not easy at first but is worthy just put your mind to it that is for a better health and to feel good. Good luck to every one

Good to hear! I have my surgery in 3 weeks. I am nervous about how it will be for the first 6 months or so. I am on a small island just off the coast of France. I am having to travel to the uk for my op so not looking forward to the 4/5 days there on my own. Can't wait to see some results!

Hi, I'm new to the site and will get my date soon. I live in France and have a place in Dinard, not too far from you. I'm eerily not nervous at all and keep projecting myself into my size 8 future. Just think in six months you will be use to your new stomach, wearing a new wardrobe and having so much more energy. Keep your eye on the prize.
