Well to start off i too have done alot of research into having wls. I had my surgery on 10-27-06 . I had a wonderful doctor, doctor jeffrey baker M.D. This is the man who not only saved my life , but gave it back to me. I am down about 140 pounds from where i started, even before surgery, i had lost 37 pounds of the 140 . This is truly a blessing. I am feeling so great, i am not afraid of the looks anymore, now i am none existant in people's eyes except wow you are looking great. It is nice not having complete strangers making rude comments on your weight infront of your family, but i must say i always had a quick comback for them, which they didin't expect. I always wondered, they must think because you are fat you must be deaf. :O) Anyway, my life has changed for the better. We just went on a vacation to texas, and we swam in th pool outside, and the ocean, took a feiry across to boliver island, it was amazing, my son was just as excited as i was about everything. I will post more later, love to all, and if you are thinking about this, i will say it is the best thing i could have ever done for myself.
