I had my surgery on July 1, 2003. 1yr and 6months after my surgery I am down 120lbs. I feel great and look great. My Picture is on the web page under the photo's so you can see how great I look. If anyone is interested in having this surgery it is defeniatly worth it. It changed my life for the better, it was the best thing that I have ever done in my life.

Well its been about 9 months since I had my surgery and I feel great. I'm down 105lbs and I feel so great about myself..I can't even believe its me when I look in the mirror. Its so wierd to finally see myself thin after being heavy for so long..The coolest thing is that for the first time ever I did a dance solo in tap ( my favorite type of dance ) and I got a high gold for it, it made me feel so great to get up on the stage and dance by myself and prove to myself that I am a great dancer. I was so happy. I actually enjoyed going bathing suit shopping...what am i saying i enjoy goin shopping for anything and everything now...I love to go and shop for clothes..being that its mostly what i do since I keep losing weight..So what i would say to u is that if you think that you might want to have this surgery..I would definatly recommend it because it was the best choice in my life..I'm only 23 and now that i had this surgery there are so many things that i can do now and i feel so great about myself.. ~ Catherine West

Congratulations on your surgery! The next year is going to be the most amazing of your life. I just want to let you know that here in the beginning is the toughest part. You will feel better than normal soon! These first few weeks and the surgery will only be a memory and you will be on to your new life. I am 13 months post op and I have lost nearly 130 pounds. I went from a size 24 to a 4 in a little over 6 months. Miracles do and will happen for you. I have tried to keep a profile that can be used as a resource. That answers all of the questions that I had when I was in your shoes. And links to various places to do more of your own research. If you have any questions or just need someone to talk to that understands please feel free to email me. Here is a link to my profile. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=A1008255446&NoStatic=1
