Hi and welcome to OH. We're glad your here. Stop by the CA message board to meet some local siblings. I wish you God speed on your Journey. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/state-forums/CA
I am almost 4 months post op now and have lost an amazing 115 lbs so far!! I'm really happy with my decision to have the WLS. It has already changed my life.
I have had no side effects (other than some numbness in 2 of my fingers) and am eating anything I want now. I just eat in very small portions.
You can see my weight loss success story complete with pictures on my web site. It is at: http://www.pamsconsulting.com
