Thank you all for you good wishes. Yes it does feel great. Every time I sit and cross my legs, or take off my socks or cut my toenails, I am grateful to have been given the oppertunity to have had this surgery. Not a day goes by that I am not grateful and thankful. I don't think I will ever forget how it feels to be 293 pounds and feel so handicapped by my weight and trapped in my own body, frightened that I might die before I got the weight off. I will always be grateful for this.

I still weigh 193 pounds so I am not exactly skinny but if I were never to lose another single pound, I would still be extremely happy to have lost this much and regained so much .
