allright, allready

maybe i asked the wrong question. are you happy you had wls? this is my last resort to a healthy life and i need to hear from you. thanks. barb(aka:babbles).

Yes I'm happy I had the surgery !!!! I had a bit of a rough start but at 10 weeks out things are going great !!!! DOWN 45 lbs. Laura 238/193/135

hi, laura! thanks for your reply. relieved to hear you're feeling better and you're happy you had the surgery. lucky you! barb

i am very happy and do not regret it at all. i am 5 months post op and i have lost 75 lbs so far.

hi, sherry! wow!!!!!!!! this is so inspirational! i am amazed to hear your personal response. thanks for taking the time. barb

Is this accurate? Your BMI is only 24.9? If it is...Are you sure you want surgery?

hi, dan! my bmi is 43.2. the ONLY thing i want right now is surgery! thanks for your reply.

for me, too, it was the best thing I ever done for myself. I feel soo much more alive, healthier and happier. My husband and I, well, it was like falling in love all over again. And I look great- if I do say so myself. But again, do your homework, cause not everyone is as lucky as I have been. (I do know somebody who is still fighting for her live- 3 months past surgery) Sue

hi,sue. thanks for another plus on the pro side...but you know someone fighting for her life 3 months post op? this is so scarey to me! i'm thinking i'm fighting for my life right now! you sound so happy and confident, though! barb

Hi Barb! I just celebrated my 2 year wls anniversary. I have lost -180 lbs and I have to say I would do it again in a heartbeat!!! I wasnt living life before, now I am. I am finally happy in the sense that I can go and do things with family and friends without feeling uncomfortable or ashamed. Not to say that this surgery should be taken lightly I did have some complications this past february. Just remember only you can decide if WLS is your way and hope to living a happier healthier life! Good Luck to you! ~Kristin
