Hello Bama folks
Just to drop a note to all my Alabama weight loss pals. I live in Helena and had a wonderful wife and 2 fantastic kids. I had been overweight all my life and have yo-yo dieted for years. I lost 100 pounds at one point, but it all crept back on. Now I have diabetes and just diagnosed with high blood pressure. So, enough is enough. Dr. Sthal did my gastric bypass at UAB on Nov 10 2010. So far, so good. I am trying to figure out this whole post surgery diet. I have not been hungery since the surgery, which is great! This forum has been a great tool as I have posted a few questions and received great advice.
Best of luck to all and I hope we can share our weight loss journey together!!
Kind Regards,
Felix Hester

Welcome Felix! Congratulations on your surgery and new life.
I only wish I had not waited as long as I did.
I thank God for all the healthy benefits surgery has brought me. And being able to wear a size 10 is a big plus too after being a size 24 possibly 26 before surgery. I quit buying clothes after size 24. I was just too embarrassed.
