Thanks for the kudos. I do feel alot better. The "before" picture is from a few years back when I was closer to 400 pounds. I didn't, but should of, taken a picture before I started this back in January. Good luck to you as well!

Hi Bruce, thanks so much for the words of encouragement. This is a huge surgery so I don't know anyone that wouldn't be jittery, but I feel like I'm more than most!! I'll be sure to post when I'm out.

Hey, I just wanted to stop in and wish you the very best for today!! I am hoping for you a speedy and pain free recovery. Remember to be up and walking as soon and as often as you can. God Bless!

Thanks. I got so much encouragement from people on this site when I was prepping for surgery I like to pass some of that back to everyone when I can . I've also discovered that I'm very passionate about this surgery that changed my life for the best & am always happy to talk about my experiences!
