kimmy*custis 276 Posted April 30, 2012 Welcome Erin! I am so excited that you decided to do this for yourself. I am feeling great, have since the surgery, no issues whatsoever. Just have a open mind and strong will and you can make it. This forum is wonderful, it helped me tremendously when I was researching the surgery, right after and even now, I find something out new every time I log in. Keep us posted on your journey and again...welcome to the sleever group! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aussiegirl 580 Posted May 1, 2012 Welcome Erin Congratulations on your decision, it wont always be an easy journey but in my experience is worth it. You will find loads of information and support on this site. I am 7 months (and 120 pounds gone) and life has never felt so alive. Fatigue is definitely something of the past (well post recovery anyway, recovery fatigue is a whole other thing ). Even when I sleep only a couple of hours a night I can still get through the day and the next and the next ....yes this is something I am well aquainted with at the moment. Good luck on your journey, feel free to ask any questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
