Congratulations on your surgery! The next year is going to be the most amazing of your life. I just want to let you know that here in the beginning is the toughest part. You will feel better than normal soon! These first few weeks and the surgery will only be a memory and you will be on to your new life. I am 10 months post op and I have lost nearly 130 pounds. I went from a size 24 to a 4 in a little over 6 months. Miracles do and will happen for you. I have tried to keep a profile that can be used as a resource. That answers all of the questions that I had when I was in your shoes. And links to various places to do more of your own research. If you have any questions or just need someone to talk to that understands please feel free to email me. Here is a link to my profile. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=A1008255446&NoStatic=1

This is a new and unfamiliar situation that you are facing. It is understandable that you might be unsure and sometimes afraid. Do not let your fear rob you of this opportunity to reclaim your life that you have longed for so long. It is worth it. You are worth it. It is hard sometimes but the rewards are so worth it. Good Luck to you. Heal fast. You have so much to look forward too. Spring will be here so very soon and this Spring will be so much different for you. You will be able to do so many more things. Like the flowers that pop up from the grounds. Your opportunites will be popping up all over.
