Hello. My name is Linda and I live in central New Jersey. A little over 3 1/2 months ago i weighed 292 pounds. I had the gastric bypass surgery on 10/4/07...a week before my 45th birthday as a present to myself and my family. So far i have lost 97 pounds. My diabestes is gone...my b/p is normal now... and my joints don't hurt...i can go up and down the stairs to do my own laundry for the first time in 5 years. I have gone from a size 3x (i am 5'8") to a size 16. I am never hungry..which a little problem because i forget to eat aot, but i am working on that. I just wanted to say hello..and wish everyone the very best in getting healthy

    You are so brave to have had surgery. You should be very proud of yourself for taking the reins and making the decision to be healthy. I wish you all the luck and determination in the world.
