How long did it take for you to decide to have weight loss surgery?  A year or so. 

Did anyone either encourage or discourage you from having surgery?  My husband has always been very supportive.  Most of the rest of my family and friends didn't think it was a good idea.

What do you wish you'd known before the surgery?  Nothing.  I feel like I was well prepared. 

What things are you able to do now that may have been difficult or impossible before surgery?  I went ziplining in Mexico.  i walked up seven towers.  I would have never made it before!

How has surgery altered your outlook on life, your emotions, and/or relationships?  I'm loving myself more - better inner dialogue.
