Thanks for listening and for any advice.    |
I am with ya. I can distinctly remember asking my Doctor about the chances of me getting this surgery, that was before Christmas. She told me that I had lost a good chunk of weight, to keep doing what I am doing and see what happened. Now I am down from 216 to 180! And I am so proud because I did it all myself. The only lifelong change I will have is how much healthier and fit I will be instead of having digestive problems for life. I am so glad I didn't pursue it and I hope you can talk your friend out of it!
