Yes, this was the best decision I have ever made! I'm just sorry that this didn't happen much earlier in my life. I have lost 56 pounds so far and never felt better or looked better. I am now wearing junior clothes which I NEVER would have believed I could get into again. I had gotten to the point where I didn't want to leave the house or get off the couch. I was about to wind up in a wheelchair because I could hardly walk. Now I go to exercise classes every day and I walk 2 miles almost every day! I never would have dreamed I would ever do that again! I have so much energy I can't sit still - I have to walk and enjoy it! If someone had told me this a year ago I would have said yeah, right, no way! It's only been 4 months. I have another 50 pounds to go and can't wait. This was a great experience and I was skeptical at first. If I hadn't talked to another woman that did this same surgery a couple months before me, I wouldn't have done it. She recommended it highly and was so successful and pleased that I went ahead and did it. I will forever be thankful to the surgeon and the staff and everyone who did such a great job and saved my life!
