It is amazing how much this surgery can change your life. It has been just four short weeks since my surgery today and my resting heart rate has dropped from mid sixties to high 40 beats per minute. I have lost 19 pounds and dropped a size and a half in clothes. There is a considerable difference in my face, complexion and i feel so good! i have just moved on to soft foods and while there are still some foods that don't go down that well, nothing has made me sick or nauseous, and I am so very glad I had this done. I am no longer considered "morbidly" obese and am fully confident that after a year I will be close to an actual normal BMI. I am so glad I that i did this and know it was the right decision for me.

Simpsongrad that is wonderful! I am 5 weeks post op. I feel amazing. My weight restriction has been lifted and I can exercise now. I'm so excited. Keep up the great work.

@ That is awesome! We should stay in touch since we share the same surgiversary!

So great to hear the success stories! I have gotten that the first few days are rough, but "keeping your eyes on the prize" has helped. This forum is great because it addresses some of the questions, concerns, fears, and victories (better) that we are all facing soon
