Hello, I have not checked in since my surgery, but I just wanted to say that this is the best thing that I have ever done for myself. I am down about 40 pounds and it is an absolute joy to get dressed in the morning, because I can comfortably slip into any suit that I want! I am so pleased with myself. Since I was so large, I am not sure that folks at work really notice, but the ones who know that I was having the procedure definitely say that they can see a difference. I feel terrific. I have not been sick or had any major consequences from the procedure. I have had a few food items not agree with me, but now I pretty much know what I can and cannot do. I will try to check in later to provide my progress as I see it. I better go now and get back to work.
