A Healthy New Life

When my surgeon told me that weight loss surgery would be a life changing experience, I had no real idea what he was talking about. Today I am fit, healthy and trim. Before my surgery I could barely negotiate a flight of steps without wheezing. Now I can run with my dog! I am no longer hypertensive, severe reflux is a thing of the past and joint and back pain are ancient history. I am experiencing a level of wellness that was beyond my pre-op imagination. On top of all that good news, I look great. I went from a size 26 to a 0 or 2. And thanks to some genetic blessing, I have minimal sagging. My biggest challenge was not so much in adapting to new eating habits, it has been taking vitamins, minerals, etc...but I do it anyway to maintain my health. sharon SW:260, CW:110 Proximal Lap 10/30/02 Dr. Phillip Shaeur, Pittsburgh PA
