Hi, I'll try to make it quick. Is vert hard to make the decision to go through with surgery. I'm only 5 days post surgery , but I feel assured I've made the correct decision. My weight had spiraled my life out of control, I had become a yoyo dieter. For the first time in a long time I feel free from the burden of not being sure of my future. I hope God gives all of you considering this, or any other weightloss surgery the courage and commitment to love yourself first. Don't listen to anyone, listen to that silent voice inside yourself and be set free from the [RS bleep] that we live being overweight. May God put his peace and will in all of you. Good luck!!!

Thank you! Is the truth. :) Sometimes we feel victims of our own selfs, you know we feel like "Damn look what I've done" but we need to let go of all that , start new and keep it moving.

No way.. Walking lightly, I can barely get much food in. I'm assuming this explains it the weightloss. :)
