the complications or not question

[Guest guest]

I am, at almost 5 months out, amongst the no complications folks. I had one

period of " what the hell have I done " at 2 weeks,

when typical post op issues...not complications...struck. These soon passed and

at 6 weeks things leveled out and have only gotten

better.

I'm so glad I made the decision to have a DS, even though I was a comparitive

'lightweight', having less than 100 lbs to lose. I

also had uncontrolled hypertension and a family history of stroke and heart

problems. I am 58 and was trly worried about not

having a healthy graceful mature lifestyle..of becoming a burden on my children

and husband...of not living to see my grandchildren

grow up.

My health is so much better not, my PCP and I are both elated with the results

and I look good along with having better health.

When all is said and done, WLS is well worth every consideration.

Blessings and peace
