Hi MrsSarjo, and congrats on your upcoming procedure to take control of your life. It is a huge life altering decision. One that should be thoroughly researched, and then researched some more.
I'm in agreement with Thicklin. You never know all of the nuances of the procedure and its outcomes until you go through it. It is all so personal and individualized in its implementation and results. Your experience will be like no one elses. Having said that, know and understand clearly that it's not a magic procedure. Know and deal with your relationship with food and your eating habits. Your results will be greatly influenced by them, as well as your resolve to follow instructions to succeed in losing the weight. Research the effects your procedure will have on hair loss also. For many, hair loss has been substantial. And lastly, keep in mind that you may lose some relationships with family and friends as your weight drops. Not all who smile with you are as happy for your success as you'd think they are...........You'd be surprised how those closest to you are now intimidated by you or even just envious.
Best wishes for a successful wl journey!

I'm late to this party but my welcome wishes are still warm foy yoyu. Glad you found us.
I've been through insanity a few times and it is awesome for variety. Variety is what helps keep the work outs working. No matter my exercise routine rny eating is my diet for life. Protein first; adequate water intake; required supplements so all post op needs are met every day. The diet industry snake oil was useless to me before rny so I expect nothing from it now. Exercise however has been good to me since childhood.
For me the key is doing insanity to re invent it my own way. You can make the program work for many levels of ability and disability with modifications to the moves. Find your groove and as your fitness level changes you may be as good as the cast of characters on the dvd.
