  • Wow! This is great! I was "sleveed" on 3/25/2008 -- this is my 4th year celebrating the best decision I ever made!!! For those who are waiting to have the surgery -- worry, nervousness, questions etc are normal but know that when you wake up the morning after surgery you will have made one of the best life-changing and…

  • Do not hesitate to join a gym because of what someone else has told you. The person who said you would be self-conscious is placing their insecurities on you -- DONT ACCEPT THEM! I previously weighed close to 300lbs and would not venture anywhere near a gym much less SPANDEX. Finally, a friend told me the people gym are…
