you look great....good job. I think my surgery date was the same as yours.....I'm down 95 lbs and I feel great! Isn't this the most wonderful tool ever? Keep up the great work and good luck to your wife as well. It must be nice to have someone to go through this with that understands every part of what you go through and all the changes you experience. Happy Thanksgiving- I think everyone here has a lot to be thankful for. I know I do!! All the best, Becky

Good for you, Donnie! It sure has been an amazing journey. I am down 71 lbs. and LOVING IT!! Only 38 lbs. from my goal. Me and a good friend had WLS together like you and your wife. It makes it nice to go through this with someone you love.
