  • I am so glad you posted this video. I am going to forward it to the people in my life. The hunger... it's maddening.  If I can just make the hunger go away... I feel like it will be like finding peace. Thanks for posting this. I'm going to send it to my family and close friends to try to help explain why I am so fixated on trying to afford this surgery.

  • I am so glad it is helpful to you. It was a profound question and the answer even kinda surprised me

  • my sister had her surgery today. she came out of surgery at 2:30pm and i saw her at 3:00pm. we've watched all of your videos to try and prepare or try and get an understanding of this whole thing. well, when she came to, i asked if she was in a lot of pain and she could only barely move her head to say yes. seeing her like that is just heartbreaking. how long were you in pain for? it pains me to see her in such great pain, but i know this will all be worth it in the end!

  • I was in paina few days, uncomfortable for a few weeks and out of my mind with Joy today when I was 175 pounds and could wear a size 10 pair of jeans! Be strong and support your sis, she will be fine, better than fine. Congrats! Hug her for me

  • OMG Do I see kittens behind you? Too cute!!!!

    I love your videos too by the way!

  • Moxie is the gray tiger cat,and Bianca is the new tan tiger long-haired cat. They are an awesome pair, thanks for watching!

see all

  • It was hard for me before my surgery because people asked why are you having this done. All I could reply is I don't like being fat. I have more answers now that the surgery is done and you are right there is no hunger... THANKS FOR POSTING!!!

  • Thank you for these! I am trying to decide between gastric or lapband or not at all. My first meeting is this week, my best friend had gastric this week w/complications and it has made me question all of this. But I keep reading as many good books, online or blogs to try to figure all of this out. Just wish more bloggers would show..actually show..their skin..the sagging? Do all of you patients have it? Would love to hear from as many as would write. God Bless!(pshow bad was it at 1st)?

  • Thank you SOOO Much!

    My mom questions my surgery a lot because I am a binge eater. I have tried to exaplain to her these things, but can't say it right. Yet another one of your videos go to my favorites so I can watch it about a million times while I am waiting and after my possible sugery.

    I <3 your vids and truly think you are a wonderful person

  • You're a wonderful person for being so open and honest and sharing your journey with others. To the people who say "why didn't you just go workout instead of having surgery"...those people obviously don't know what it's like to be addicted to something. And it's not like cigarettes or alcohol where you can more easily quit - it's food, you need to eat it to live. Try telling an alcoholic they have to quit but can have "just a little" each day to survive....ain't gonna happen. Kudos Amelia!

  • your honesty never ceases to amaze me ! Rock on A !!!

  • Somebody called you a worthless "F". What an ass.. Your videos are one of the Many reasons Im having the surgery. Your a success!! Ignore than peson.

  • great answers !!!

  • Me again, I wanted to tell you that your confidence and beauty just shoot out of you like a shining star. I am so happy for you, to finally be free. When I see you week to week,I think "I want what she's got" I want to be free. You are an awsome role model for anyone, let alone anyone who's thought about or has had the GBS. You go girl! Let your light shine!
