    Only regret is not doing it years ago when I first started considering it.

    Not so far:) Surgery was super easy for me. Worst part was liquid diet on either side of surgery...was so hungry!!!

    Even if I'm not a huge loser......getting off my BP meds and diuretic, and not having edema in my legs....is so darned cool! I feel really good, tons of energy.

    I doubt I'll get to my goal weight, (hoping to, but trying to be realistic)....but if I can just spend the rest of my life under 200....I'll be a seriously happy camper.

    Been VERY happy so far!

    The jury is still out. I’m only 16 days post op, and it’s been a difficult recovery so far.
