Well several years after surgery things are going well. Delt with other addictions and issues. Had issues with pain pills and Alcohol for a while after surgery. Now Sober for over a year. Eat what I like but in moderation and it just takes time to eat. GASSSSSS oh boy, do I know how to clear out a room. But I am healthier and better off. My x-wife did not like the changes but my new one does and understands since she has had the same journey as us and lost 200lbs herself. I believe I have lengthened my like after watching my first father in law die in his 50's from diabetes I know my risks have dropped. I am a smooth 209 now wear a 36/32 Levi and dont break out in a sweat doing a simple task!!!!! I do have some side effects to this day but the trade off is worth all of it.

We're having surgery on the same day! I'm sending thoughts and prayers for an uneventful surgery. For the steady hands of your surgeon and the alertness of his team. For a virtually pain free and speedy recovery. Here's to becoming a BIG loser! paula
