Happy New Year-- it really is a happy new deal

Happy New Year...if you're reading this you have either had the surgery or are seriously contemplating it --either way, the new year may be setting you up for a new deal. I'm about two and half years post-sx. Down about 125 lbs.-- still too fat, but at least not always the biggest boy in the room. It changes your relationship with food (in a good way) and fixes many problems like apnea, bp, etc. I would do it again in a heartbeat, though you need to be careful (always) about drinking at meals, bread, small (tiny) bites, etc. I can't win the "all you can eat" challenge any more, but will hopefully be around to annoy my family for a while longer. If you're reading this you are at very least brave enough to face up to your lifespan-altering condition, and smart enough to hone in on a great possible solution. I think it's about the bravest thing we (the massive) all can do-- good luck and lots of white styrofoam boxes in your new year!

I'm new looking forward to sleeve gastric surgery in April or May but what did you mean by styrofoam boxes?
