Hi All,

I had my surgery on 6-19-02. I too know the fears of weight gain and having the "fat girl" revisit me. Last April I had 15 lbs. creep back up on me. My clothes wouldn't fit, I felt fat, frumpy, and very miserable. I was socializing around food, imagine that? I had to address the problem head on. I never had exercised during the weight loss, my back was so compromised. I decided pain or not exercise would have to become an added lifestyle choice. I went for it. I began walking/ now run at Torrey Pines about 5 days a week. I feel better than I ever have and find that it is a great stress reliever. My weight now is where it should be.
