A great year tfar! My greatest fears before surgery was that I was going to be giving up so much, I thought I would lose my love of food, I thought I would have to deprive myself at parties and family get togethers, I thought I might become someone different. I had surgery in August and since then things have gotten nothing but better, I'm off all meds but one, I kicked the CPAP to the curb, I feel great, I'm not in constant pain, and I enjoy foods almost as much as before. I've been obese most of my adult life and I didn't know what being "normal" felt like, clothes fit so much better, I can walk and climb, I can bend over and tie my shoes- woo hoo! Doesn't sound like a major milestone to a normal person, but to someone who hasn't seen their toes in quite a few years, it's something to cheer about.

So, thanks for asking and to everyone who has been on this journey and to those who are ready to begin, here's to a new healthy and active life, best wishes for Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hope were all having a great year!
