How do you feel?
I feel amazing. I honestly thought I was never going to live to see 50 before I had this surgery-- could hardly get around even to shop or walk any distance, now I can go or do anything I want. Was able to totally give up my bi-pap machine to sleep and feel so NORMAL now.
Do you have any concerns?
No, I honestly don't health wise. Where will the money come from for the plastics, yeah, but I'll figure that out. In the mean time I look so much better in my clothes, so I don't believe in borrowing trouble.
