So last week we hired a new person at my job. Today was my first day training them and we got to talking and sure enough. She had Gastric Sleeve surgery 6 years ago. I was like NOO WAY me too! but 11 months ago lol. She is i think in her late 40's. and she was i think 330lb and currently at 165lb 6 years later and doing great. Nice to meet someone like me lol. I am coming up on my 1 year surgery date next month.

I had a similar experience. I have a client that I print material for and last year I was out for my surgery around the time she let me know what she needed printed.

When I returned to work, I was talking with her about the order and mentioned the surgery I had. Turns out we both had gastric bypass. She gave me a few tips and reminded me that while it was rough in the beginning, it would get easier.
