Welcome and so glad you signed up to talk to us here. We are big supporters of each other and it definitely helps me a lot to write things that other people would not understand. Please come back and visit anytime. God bless and congrats on the 125 lbs. I have finished the preop stuff--- just waiting on a date. I am using Blake at UMC. Jane from Poplarville

Welcome to the board, Jimmy!! We're glad to have you, and thankful that you pulled through just fine. Always good to have another nice success story to read. I was lucky to have a flawless recovery, but find that everyone who is looking into this surgery has to come to terms with what could happen, the complications as well,not just the good side of this. Isn't it wonderful how diabetes and high bloodpressure are virtually elimitated with this procedure? I know we just added YEARS to our lifespan by taking this step to better health , this website certainly helped me in making up my mind about surgery. Here I am, 55 lbs lighter ( for a total of 84 actually from highest weight ) and looking forward to making the century club in a month hopefully. Your weight loss is fabulous!! Keep up the good work!
