Would you do it all over again?

I used to wake up every morning wondering if I could control my food cravings and intake.. . . . . I felt chaotic and panicked. Now, I wake up knowing that I have a tool that will help me get through the day relatively calmly. This surgery has brought me a lot of peace. Don't get me wrong. . . .I struggle with the same weight issues that I had before surgery but they are less intense and easier to cope with.

I do not regret any moment of my weight loss surgery.

I would ABSOLUTELY do it again, if I needed to!

I couldn't control my eating and had out of control cravings. Now, life is MUCH better, I'm not hungry like I was before surgery. :D

BELOW GOAL Happily maintaining 4.5 years out!! Life is GREAT!!! Had my plastic surgery!

Yes! Absolutely! I will say that i had trouble believing that I wouldn't be hungry, but it really is true. And watching the kids eat their Easter candy, and only having only a tiny portion of Easter dinner didn't bother me one but. It's amazing really! I'm so happy!

Most people around here usually only have one regret: not doing it sooner!

The 5 Year Ago Me:
-didn't get off the couch much
-complained if I had to walk across the parking lot (rather than get the closest spot)
-stayed home A LOT
-was headed towards heart attack land (My mom has a massive heart attack at age 59).
-was around 290 lbs

The Now Me:
-has lost 130+ lbs
-I walk half marathons and am now running 5Ks
-I play floor hockey, coach swimming, basketball and baseball.
-I'm never home!
-no medication and all levels are pretty normal :)No health issues.
