Wow... just read my initial blog.  What a bummer.  I didn't mean a word of it.  Would I do this again.  Hell, yes!  I'm a size 4!  That wouldn't have happened without this tool!  I'm healthy, happy, and have adjusted just fine. I'm able to eat what seems like "normal" amounts of food now... but the normal isn't about what I used to think it was.  I think I eat like a normal thin person.  Thanks to all my friends on OH... I have relied heavily on many of you... especially Michelle V... and I know I couldn't have done as well without your support.  Love you guys!

I'm assuming it's where people write jounal-like entries, so here it goes.  I haven't written anything on my profile since before surgery.  Many of you know I had an absolutely nightmarish time, having 3 surgeries over the summer.  Thank God that's behind me.  I haven't written about the particulars of what I went through, and I'm not sure I ever will... I don't want to relive any of it!  I'm doing well now!  I've lost 62 pounds.  I've gone from a size 22/24 to a 14/16 in about 4 months.  Would I do this again?  Honestly, probably not.  Even though I'm OK now, it's been a very challenging time and the adjustment to not eating has been very difficult.  Don't get me wrong... I'm thrilled at my weight loss!  I just wish I'd been better prepared for possible complications and all the emotional stuff that goes with this surgery.  I guess that's it for now.  Sorry to sound negative!
