Well it has almost been 8 months, and in those 8 months I have lost 85 lbs. I have not had any problems at all. I can eat what I want, just not alot. My scar is fading, but I am proud of it.. It's my battle scar. A battle that I am winning every day.. I am proud of my choice to have weight loss surgery.. I tell anyone who will listen... My neighbors, the cashier, anyone with a ear.. Most reactions are positive.. Those that are not, I just figure they don't have a clue and it doesn't matter anyway! God has truely Blessed me with this surgery and this site and all of you! May you all win your war!
