I live my life knowing that things are not fair and equal. I went into my surgery weighing 345 pounds. I was not unhappy since I learned to love myself but I was uncomfortable. It was getting hard to live not wanting to do little things anymore. I was lucky my surgery went very well and I dont have a bad reaction to anesthesia. The person after me was made nausious but not me I am happy to say I did great. The nursing staff was very attentive and everyone at the Clinic was wonderful. If I had to make this choice again I would stick to the original descision and go for it. After 8 weeks I am down to 281 pounds I feel great and I am taking the healing process one day at a time.
