Hi all!
I am so excited to have finally joined your site! I admit to reading many of your great posts to try to calm my fears about the surgery. Took me 2 years to research and decide to do this but you all were a big part of my decision. The encouragement you share on this site is amazing!

My knees were the main culprit for wanting this surgery (well, along with being sick of being fat!) I have had to have a total knee replacement of one knee and soon after the other began failing me a lot. sigh... I just finally decided that I want to be healthy again. I had my surgery on June 2nd at Magee Hospital in Pittsburgh. So glad to have it and equally glad it is over and everything went so well!
I'm now dealing with the liquid diet which isn't as bad as I thought it would be...and deciphering the signals coming out of my stomach that seem so different now...and the dreaded head hungers which aren't getting a lot easier yet....to the point that I chewed and sucked all the taste out of a swedish meatball before i spit it out in the trash and turned my back on the rest of those little boogers! LOL Yay me!

Anyway, my resolve is getting a little better each day and I'm looking forward to sharing with you all on this journey of ours!

Welcome aboard! My back going out on me and seeing (overweight) ladies my age in a care center were the deciding factors for me... I also had knee issues right before surgery. My body was telling me it was getting too old to suffer the stress and strain of all the weight...

No regrets here...

Congratulations and welcome to the losing side!

Katie
