21. 1 and ½ years after the surgery; Ricky walks up the aisle, up the stairs, across the stage, then back down the aisle to his seat; all without stopping to catch his breath. Ricky now weighs 220 lbs, maintains an active lifestyle, and puts lots of thought and care into his diet. He no longer has to worry about the diabetes and has been off his inhaler for 5 months. Ricky has changed for the better not only physically, but mentally. He has great confidence in himself, and loves to hang out with his friends. He still goes to support group for the weight loss, and has been able to become a motivational speaker to others his age with the same problems. He did have to deal with some infection problems the first few months after the surgery, but has had no additional complications since. Conclusion
