Would you be happy?

No way!! I started out at 285 and now weigh 245. thats only a -40 lb lost. I went to the mall today to look around and tried on a size 18 skirt which fit but still made me look blimpy. I would still have to buy large clothes and I still am taking 3 blood pressure pills. I think after another 40 lbs I probably will be off them or at least taking only one. My weight loss is so slow, but at least its steady. I would feel really stupid if I lost nothing else. Carolyn Faye

Not only not but H@## no! I have only lost 28lbs in 3 months. I have spent 2 going on 3 months in my 220's thats just absurd. Think about it being unable to lose 10lbs to get down to the next ten lb mark. No I am not happy with surgery I am working my @$$ off harder than I did before at diets and losing less than before if the truth be told. On diet pills I lost more. And it didn't cost nearly as much. I also did a poll on the boards about how much your doctor bypassed and found out that of all the people *****sponded, I had the most bypassed. Everyone had 100cm or less, mostly less and they still had signifigant losses in the first several months and beyond and hit at below or within close to their goal. I'm just not happy with 28lbs and everyone I've talked to said they wouldn't be either...... Marti
