Hi Everyone. I had my surgery on Feb. 14, 2005, a valintines gift to self. I was 315 on day of surgery and now 5 months out I am 232. That is a lose of 83 lbs that I never thought I'd see. I just found this Feb. board and I am glad to see that there are so many others who are doing the same as me...Dawn

Hi, Dawn! I'm glad you found us. This is a great support board and it's nice to talk with people who had surgery around the same time. Jeanie Duodenal Switch (DS) 02/12/05 -85 big lubs

Hi Dawn, I joined this board today. Surgery on 02/17/05 and lost 69 pounds so far but down 6 sizes and about 48 inches. I am glad to find a group that had the surgery the same time as me. Keep up the good work. Sarah

Welcome Dawn! I'm a newbie as well to this board and my surgery date was the same day as Sarah's 2/17/2005. I've lost 80 pounds so far. I was a size 24 in pants and I just bought my first pair of a size 14 this week. Let's keep losing ladies

You are doing great! I had surgery 2/08/05 and I have lost 85 pounds. This is the best thing I have ever done for my self. My biggeest thing lately is trying to get more protein in because of hair loss. I am glad I had a lot of hair to start with. It has started to slow down. THANK GOD
