Cooool. Congratulations..

3/26/14 down from 303 to 268. 35 pounds so far

Amen!!!

Good for you. I don't like to preach but God is my entire life. He makes all the decisions and let me tell you as of today I am 10 days post op and feel great. I started at 303 and am now at 270. 33 pounds in a month. I will pray for you and hope things continue to go in Gods direction for you.

Time

I am one of the satisfied ones. Good luck

That's a load of crap. I guess under your friends theory if your kidney was failing and you replaced it you are going against God because its not your original body. People need to think before they speak for God. Let me tell you this if God did not want you to have this surgery the doors would have been closed. My entire surgery journey has been decided by God as my life is in His hands. I pray for His will not my own. Don't worry about people that act this way. Most of the time there is some underlying jealousy problem that is their real issue. If God does not approve of your surgery it will simply not happen. Good luck and stay positive.

There is a greater risk of dying pulling out of your drive way than dying from this surgery. Don't be scared. This is nothing compared to heart surgery or any of the many surgeries you may have to get if you remain overweight.

I am 8 days out and doing great. One or two stories about a bad experience does not outweigh the hundreds of thousands of positive stories. I would not change my decision for anything. Your going to die someday if it's your time it's your time. Don't be afraid it's really not to bad. Yes there are down sides. Death is the last thing you should be thinking about.

I am 8 days out and as everyone here says it gets better each day. Each person is different however as time passes it does get much better.

Sugar free Popsicles have been great. I also take a can of soup and put it in the ninja everyone in a while. This part does suck. I am living on mussel milk, Popsicles and water. I bought so much crap that I was told to that I will never eat. Most of it tastes really bad to me post op. I ordered the unflavored ungery and plan on mixing it in with my flavored water to up my protein level.

You know your life path is already drawn. God is in control of everything. Driving to the hospital for your surgery can kill you. If you believe in God put your faith in him. I had no fear of this surgery as my life belongs to God. If it was my time then it was my time. I made it. Easy as closing your eyes and then waking up 2 seconds later. You will be fine. If this surgery scares you think about heart surgery or some other weight related surgery you may end up having to get. You will do great.

Yes you are doing this. There is a reason you are on that plane. Don't back down and change your mind. A few small holes in you stomach is nothing compared to living the rest of your life overweight. It's a very easy and safe procedure. You won't remember a thing as far as the surgery its self goes.

Wow!!

Congrats
