Well, here we are so long after my surgery! My actual surgery was June 11th, 2001 and I Have lost to date about 300lbs. I have been married to the most wonderful man for seven years now, and eventhough having a baby didn't seem possible, we did adopt to wonderful kids. We are now the proud parents of a nine year old girl and a six year old boy. God knows how to put together a family ... they actually look just like us. I still say that I would do this again...my life has been better and better since I got free of the bulk of my excess weight. I have never attained what folks would call a thin body... but to have come down from 600+ pounds... I am doing well. I would say that anyone that is considering this... do your research and make sure that you don't have medical issues that might cause you complications. And do what your doctor tells you to do! I have never had major problems and have done well for all this time. Just go in with realistic expectations. It will hurt, You will have scars, and you won't be able to eat gobbs of food much anymore... i still can't eat cereal... too much lactose and sucrose... makes me so sick... ugggh.. but really... I am good.. I Like eggs! God Bless.. Tara
