Congratulations!

I concur with @OKCPirate.

I was fortunate, it was my PCP who recommended I consider having WLS. And has been super supportive since. It took me a year to wrap my brain around the option and to research everything I could. Once I made the decision, and had the first appointment with the surgeon, I didn't look back. Even though years before another PCP's PA with whom I had my appts. had suggested it "lightly," I always thought I should be able to lose this weight with the surgery; I'd done it many times before. But, life changes things, the body changes, and no matter all the efforts made to lose even 50 lbs., I was not successful. WLS certainly IS NOT the easy way out no matter what others may think. It still takes a lot of work, but having the restriction of my sleeved tummy certainly helps. No regrets!!

Great article! You always write such insightful pieces. There is always excellent information and advice included in your pieces. Keeping on writing!

A lot of excellent points and reminders made, Alex. Thank you!!! I continue to tell others about BP and how helpful it has been to me pre- and post-surgery. Keep up the great work!!

My beast is alive and well----unfortunately. Thanks for your insight and encouragement. I will be calling a spade a spade going forward.

Well said!!
