I cannot believe that ten months ago I was weiging almost 300 lbs and here I sit weighing 140 lbs Right now im actually sitting at home trying to recooperate from a body lift I got done on 3/29/04, lemme tell you that it's a painful experience But everyday is getting better. I am half the person I was ten months ago and I have to say that its pretty amazing!

Hi all, I was 10 months out as of yesterday. I have lost something like 120 lbs. Putting my weight at 120lbs. It's pretty amazing to have cut my weight in half in such a short time. I would do it again today! Casey

I am just over 9 Mos. out from my BPD-DS and have lost 215 pounds. 556 to 341. I have a huge hernia on my stomach that is really embarassing to me, and Im real self conscious about it. Does anyone know when the earliest possible time I may be able to have this procedure done?? My surgeon says not til I reach goal, that is 2 long for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

wow! congratulations melvin_ you are doing great! good luck- janey 6/2/03 open rny 236/125 at goal
