Congratulations on your success!! You are truly an inspiration to me. I am just starting on this journey as I just had my initial consult with the surgeon. I am self pay so things should move pretty quickly, but I think I am getting cold feet.....It just seems so drastic. Then I read your post and it makes we want to be able to move again, to be able to swim and ski with my family, not just sit on the side line and watch.

Renee...it IS drastic but drastic is what we need!

I want a decent quality of life back and I'm getting there.

Before surgery, I had pretty much become sedentary and didn't like to do much of anything but sit around. It was just too much effort and I was uncomfortable and hated the way I looked. I even skipped my class reunions because I didn't want those people to see me so fat. I'm definitely planning to go to the next one though!

My husband and I are going to go and play tennis this week. That's something I always loved to do but got too fat to do. I can't wait!

There are so many things I'm looking forward to being able to do again...I could kick myself for allowing me to get that out of hand with my weight....back problems or not.

I truly feel like this surgery has saved my life.

It might be drastic...but it's way better than the alternative...which is life as a fat couch potato and likely an early death.

I choose life!
