 So, I am now 9 days post op and I am home, and I feel great.  (Except my ears have not popped form the trip home - I had my surgery in mexico - and my jet's engine caught on fire on take off yesterday - I thought crap, I am getting my life together, and I am going to die in a plane crash - but I digress.)

I started this whole journey Jan 1 at 405 pounds.

I was down to 365 the day of the surgery.

I am now down to 352.  That's 53 pounds since I start this whole thing.  (And an amazing 13 pounds since the surgery).

WOW!

So besides myself.

I am feeling great, have lots of energy and so ready for this new life of mine.

Congrats on your successfule WLS, Matthew. I sometimes think that my new life after WLS is a dream and I'll soon wake up and be the old 500 pounder again. The last 3 years has been an amazing adventure for me and I just want it to continue and keep getting better and better and.....

It's up to me to make it happen now that WLS has provided me with the opportunity for a second lease on life.

Best of luck in your journey. Tell us more about your WLS in Mexico. How was the experience?

Thanks

THAT'S why I hate flying.  I'm not so much scared of crashing and all but rather I'm scared of the terminal case of rapid deceleration sickness that goes along with the crashing.

Looks like you are well on the way.  Best of luck!
