Hi, my surgury was on April 14th and I lost 65lbs .I have been to sick to exercise but I just came home from the hospital on friday and I think I am going to quit getting sick now . I hope to be able to exercise soon I have 70lbs to go . My skin isnt sagging but I am only 20 I also had much trouble eating any meat at all but it is getting easier now . I never get hungry either I just eat because I feel like I should eat once a day at least but I get full really quick.

Hi Karen, I know how you feel about the fear that the surgery wont work. I had mine April 23rd, 2003 and I have lost 36 pounds at this point. Part of my problem is that I can eat ANYTHING with no problem, although in much smaller amounts. This makes me always wonder if what I'm eating is gonna cause me to stop loosing weight. Sometimes I wish I DID have a problem tolerating something. On the plus side, I have dropped six or more inches off my waste and 3 shirt sizes, which is great. I know when I exercise more it will really start coming off, I just sometimes need to remind myself of that. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thought this though. Good luck! Darrell

I can't believe I have lost 46 pounds since my surgery on April 21st! I am also feeling more energy and less aches and pains. I have been married 15 yrs (last may) and my husband has been my life line by taking care of me like he has, I could not have done it with out him. He has been friskier than ever!(tee-hee!) Life is gettin better!!!

Hi Deby, My name is Bee and my surgery was on 4/22 and I am down 39 lbs. Doesn't feel great!!

Sounds to be like you are doing great. I had my surgery on 4/22 and am only down 39 lbs and am thrilled. Keep up the good work. I think alot depends on what you are eating. Some things I can eat alot of and others I can only have a few bites. As long as you are loosing I wouldn't worry about it. Bee
