Does any one know anything about compression clothing? I am beginning to notice the "sagging" and I was told that compression clothing can help. I would appreciate any information about companies or your experiences in this area. Thank you in advance!!!

Sometimes, it is hard to believe that I actually had the surgery. Life goes on exactly as before. However, things have changed drastically for me. I have lost about 78 pound from my original weight of 350. When I told my sister my original weight, she said, "Wow, I thought you weighed more than that. You just kept getting bigger and bigger."

Went back to work a week after surgery. It went unbelievably well. I really had to focus on sipping, sipping, sipping. My daughter has noticed that I am not as out of breath as I used to be on a daily basis. Tomorrow is my "wound check" appointment. I am getting tired to liquids but I know I have to follow that path. I still crave greasy, fast food. So much of my eating habits are psychological. Obviously, hunger was not what lead to being overweigh.

I can't believe I am on this side of the fence. I have been wanting this surgery for so long. I am feeling pretty good. I was going to go back to work two days after the surgery but I am glad that I took the whole week off. I still need the extra time to nap but other than that I am good. So glad I didn't have any problems with the surgery. It going to be a new and better life!
