BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE!

For anyone on here who is thinking about having surgery but not sure.....I am 7 mos post-op,and let me tell you this has been the very best thing i have ever done for myself!I had high bloodpressure,diabetes,and a stomach full of ulcers that were really bad and not healing,now i am down from a size 18 to a size 7 jeans!I lost 70 lbs and im 15 lbs from my goal weight!I feel great and only good has come from this surgery.No more diabetes,ulcers,blood pressure is better but its hereditery so its still high but im taking much less meds for it.So i say go for it !Its life changing:)

That's an awsome personal story! way to go!!! you are an inspiration to us newbies on this board!! Thanks for posting your encouragement, it keeps us going!

Oh you are soo welcome i am here for any newbies that need help or just some encouraging words:)

I know how you feel. Joints are feeling good, no more bp meds and I can play on the floor with the grandbaby!

Congrats. I remember I had sleep apnea and high blood pressure. Things will only greatly improve from here on out.

 Way to go!

I completely agree. I would never have believed I could feel this good and normal for the first time in years. It's so great to walk in a room and not have people stare at how fat I am. I love being able to bend over and put on my shoes without my face exploding. And hopefully soon I can get off the bp meds.

I so agree with you this is the best thing that i have do for ME!!!!!1

That's great Diana, I'm one of the newbies and I'm scheduled for surgery on 1/30/2012.  I'm on the first day of the pre-liquid diet and struggling a little, but I know it will be worth it in the end.  Thank you for your story and inspiration.
