How about a positive post !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Been sorta tough reading many of the postings the last few days. Hope

you do not mind if I mention that I am 5 months post-op as of today.

Feel great, eat anything, about 1/2 - 2/3 volume presurgery. Have

been very complaint with nutrionist suggestions, and really trying to

MAXIMIZE the 12-18 month weight loss window. Of course I feel better

physically, but also emotionally. Yeah, the stresses of everyday life

do not disapate, but mentally...when you feel good about

yourself...you just deal with the hurdles easier.

To those preops....I can not describe how easy and normal these last

5 months have been. Sure, those few weeks after surgery were not

fab...but it passes oh so quick, and then you feel much better than

when you started. The best decision for me was picking the BPD/DS. It

allows me a normal lifestyle, longer and healthy life and best chance

of keeping the weight off!

Five months today

Start 373 pounds BMI 53

Today 257 pounds BMI 37

5 months...down 116 tiny pounds.

A POSITIVE POSTER!!!!
