My name is Kelly Smith. I have been over weight the majority of my life. I currently weigh 278. I have been thinking about this surgery for about 6 months. I plan on attending a seminar in June.

I attended the seminar. I found it to be very informative. My sister and my mom went with me. Now I want the surgery more than ever. I have a wonderful, supportive husband and two great teenagers. I want to be healthy for them.

I just now am home. I went home Sat. after my surgery and started running a fever. I called the hospital and my husband and I had to go right back to the hospital. I had to have a second exploratory surgery to find out why I had a fever. It ended up being an infection and I had to stay another 5 nights in the hospital.
