One year and four days later .....'-)
I am happy to report that I have lost approximately 95 pounds and am down to a healthy weight. The year has gone by quickly and I really haven't had any problems -- other than trying to remember my iron tablets on a daily basis. I am so happy I did this - the only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Best of luck to those thinking of having this surgery. My surgeon was terrific (and still is). The support group meetings are great.
