Laura,

All of my "health" issues were resolved.HP gone, type 2 d..no meds, sleep apena gone.With that said,I am so much weaker now and from being obese .I have problems with my knees and just ALL my joints really ache.

When obese, I felt strong and I moved better, does that makes sense

Emotionally, I feel better now but I had to go on Lexapro for a year after surgery and I was fine before surgery.

I would do it again but in some ways I feel worse.

All my health issues are gone, and my head is getter better but for the longest time I couldn't see the weight loss. I was upset all the time, and had to go on antidepressants for about 6 months (never was on them fat). It's been a lot better for me, but there are still times when I see myself walk out of the bathroon stall and think wow that girl is thin, and that girl is me! I've always been a LARGE girl this is the smallest I've ever been in my life. I'm scared to gain it back, but I'm pretty sure that's a common fear.
