Time goes so fast!  I am just over the 6 month mark and I am down 80 pounds, 10 more to go!!  I can wear a size 8, but I feel like I'm dreaming sometimes.  Eating is still a struggle,I still eat too fast.  Teaching an old dog new tricks is tough!   To anyone reading this and thinking about having the surgery, my advice is go for it.  Your health is your most important asset in life, protect it and extend your life and the quality of your life that WLS will give you.
