I am 5 months post op. Doc made the final determination to do the sleeve instead of by-pass while I was on the table. I am grateful. He made a wise decision for my health. I am enjoying my life. 70lbs lighter. I still have quite a way to go, but ready for the challenge. Looked into these sites before surgery, but I wasn't in a good place and couldn't be open enough to share. I am happy and willing to discuss all aspects of my "new" life. I have been given a second chance and am eternally grateful to God for the opportunity.

Re: Hello All!
Journey is really the only way to describe it. We have to remember to enjoy each day and appreciate all the changes. I feel like a kid, discovering the new me.
