Bragging Again!
Here I am nine weeks post-surgery, 58 pounds lighter (since October, 2008 when I started this journey), 41 inches less and feeling great. I am eating the general diet now and so far so good. I am still a little uneasy about raw veggies because I am afraid something will get stuck. Just seems that raw veggies can't be chewed to mush as easily as cooked green beans can.
A friend of mine is starting this journey and she is so excited about it. I remember totally how excited I was to get Chris' email about a consultation appointment. Oh gosh that was a terrific day! With each step along the way.................consultation day, eating healthy to prep for surgery, lab work to get ready for surgery, insurance approval letter, etc. It has been a wonderful journey that I am on and I love it. I would not change anything about this. Plus, I can't say enough positive things about the care I have been given at UIHC by Dr. Jamal and the staff there. All of them are wonderful and very helpful, not to mention experts in bariatric surgery and the way of life you need to follow after surgery. They are the best!
Thanks for checking in on me and listening to me brag again.
Would love to hear from all of you how you are doing and how things are going for you. Don't get so busy that you don't take time to post on her!

Hi Carol,
Congratulations on your 'textbook' recovery!! It sounds like you are doing great! I was wondering if you had any weight related medical conditions before the surgery, and if so, are they improving? The reason, I am asking is because that is why I am looking into this surgery, so I would like to hear of anyone's experience with this (such as diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, anything like that).
Again, congratulations!! You make it sound so easy.
