Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!

Dear Karey:
Welcome to the Illinois board! We have a great group here and love to meet new friends.
The best pointer I can give you is to start exeercising now, before surgery, even if it is just walking. This will help your body be healthier for surgery and it will start to become a habit that you will need for the rest of your life.
Have a super day!
