I had WLS in June of 2011 and have lost 201 lbs with 10 more to go for my goal. It has been a very difficult road for me. I am glad I did it, I was going to die without it. I developed cancer in my female organs due to obesity and because of my size I was not closed up because I had a terrible infection and wore a wound vac for months after my cancer surgery. I was totally immobile and decided that WLS was my last hope, I had tried every other weight loss program and was not successful with any if them and got fatter and fatter with no activity. I am now very active and I ride my bike for 3 hours and 30 miles at a time! I am living now and not just existing! Please add me as a friend if you like. I'd love to chat! Look forward to talking with you!
