I had absolutely no trouble with the surgery. My daughter threw up several times, but I never did. I have given away about 80% of my clothes, and took in the other 20%. I have always just wanted to be a normal size, not the biggest person in the room. Now that dream has become a reality. I feel comfortable around others and don't feel self-conscious about how I look. I CAN EVEN CROSS MT LEGS IN COMFORT. That is something I haven't been able to do in over 35 years. And another dream was being below 200lbs - I have 5 lbs to go for that one. Make sure when you go to a restaurant that you really like what is ordered because I bring it home and eat it for another 4 to 5 meals. When away from home,you have to plan out what you will bring to eat. I normally make a protein smoothie and maybe eat a power bar. Eating about every 2 hours.

This surgery is the best thing I have ever done for myself.
