SO AMAZING!
Hi Everyone,
I have to say that this surgery is so amazing, all my life I have been through so many stressful things, and food was my way of making myself feel better. I know most of you can relate. I am actually going through some issues still, but this surgery has really helped me from using food as my escape. I am 15 months postop today, and I am healthy. I was told about about this surgery about 100 times over the past 10 years, but would not do it, I am so happy that I finally made the right decsion to have the surgery. The confidence that I have now gives me the strength to deal with whatever comes my way. I have always been a strong person inside, but I would let my weight problem on the outside take control. It's sad that I lived my whole life feeling bad about myself. Losing the weight has changed my self confidence, but has not changed my big heart. I may look different on the outside, but am still the same caring, loving and good hearted person in the inside. I realize now that all the qualities that I have in the inside is what really matters, I love myself today. I feel like nothing can stop me now!!!!

Hi Melissa,
I mostly lurk on these boards, but what you wrote made me want to respond. I am older, 55, and have been overweight my whole life. I am scheduled for my RNY on January 12th.
I just CANNOT imagine lfe any other way than how it is now...being fat. I had my doubts but to hear how happy you are with the decision to have the surgery, makes me look forward to it even more.
Congrats on your weight loss and more importantly, your lifestyle change. I can't wait to get to the "other side"!
