One year ago on May 6th I had my surgery. My weight the day of my surgery was 282. I had several co-morbities, high blood pressure, diabetes, and reflux. I could hardly even move around, even putting on a pair of socks was difficult for me. I was so unhappy with my self, and had no self esteem. I never wanted to attend any functions where people would see me, and if I had to attend I would try to hide in the background, not wanting anyone to see me or judge me. I was so very unhappy and ashamed. Well as of today, I weigh 155, wearing a size 8 or 10. All my co-morbities are gone. I exercise daily, watch what I eat (never did before!!!!). My husband and I went on a business trip this weekend to Winchester, Virginia for his company, and for the very first time I was comfortable, I was able to join in with the others and feel like I fit in. It's just amazing how much better things are now, I not only look better, but feel so much better emotionally and physically (sorry spelling was never one of my gifts) This web site has helped me so much, and I just want to thank you guys for being there. So to all you Maysters Thank You
