Hi Everyone. well it really has been an exciting and life changing time.when i think back to the first few months after surgery i could never of imagined how i would of felt today. Back then one time i thought "what the heck have i done to myself " the depression was really bad and eating anything was a struggle, but but as time went on and i ajusted to my new life things just got better and better. each day was a different experience a different way of looking at things and i can honestly say that today iam at such peace with myself and the way i feel and look. For the first time in my life. So all the early struggles are so worth the out come, iam so healthy its, to be able to get dressed for work every morning and not cry because what ever i put on looked horrible at 278lbs my breathing scared everyone it was so heavy,now at 138lbs i slip into an outfit look in the mirror and say OK MAMMA your good to go i dash out to the car feeling like a bird. my whole body language has changed and i have a whole lot of breath I thank God every day for this surgery and allowing me to have a second chance on life and the joy of being a woman. P.S. One bad thing iam ADDICTED to SHOPPING Maggie.

Excellent Maggie!!! I agree... I hated going shopping, getting dressed, myself!!! Now, I love going shopping...I love getting my clothes ready to wear...and I love myself. People have commented on how "happy" I seem to be now. I have a bounce in my step...and I just seem to love life. It has made a world of difference in my life! Also, the breathing...everyone was so worried about my breathing. Now, it is fine. Also, my "red" face. Always was red...no more!!! I love life!!!! Jeannie
