Hi Latoya, Greetings and welcome to the NY board...there is a great bunch of people here. If you have any questions feel free to post. We all have different experiences both good and bad. Be informed, ask questions, write a list of things to go over with your surgeon so there arent any surprises. Best of luck on your journey. Janean

Latoya, Welcome to the NY board ~Hugs~ I am not sure where you are in your journey but I have one thing that I know helped me through and it might help but remember everyone is different. I was so depressed right after surgery, I was mourning food. I was so in love with food that when I thought I would never eat normal again I was so upset, crying for the first week home but as everyone has always said to me and others, it really does get better. They are right, now I am feeling awesome and have for a while. I am 11 weeks out and down 56 lbs, now everyone is different so you might not feel that way but it is good to know just in case. I know it helped me to know that! Please post often to give updates hun and welcome again Debra P 285/229/125??
