I'm down 73 lbs and feel so much better. Have my 6-month check up 12/16 and my daughter goes with me for her first year check up. My lap surgery was 6/10 and complicated by gall bladder attacks beginning 7/9/04. Had the gall bladder out 8/10/04 and am doing great since then. Need to kick up the exercise as the weight loss is slowing down. Great to read everyone's results! It was and is worth it all.

Hi Everyone, As of today I joined the century club with a weight loss of 101 pounds! I started at 276 after the surgery and today I weigh in at 175. I've never been this little. I'm wearing a size 12 pants and small tops. I want to lose another 35 to 40 pounds. That sounds so funny to hear myself say....just another 35 pounds. Better than hearing myself say I need to lost 150 pounds llike I used to. I have my 6 month checkup next Thursday. Already had my labs done and everything was normal. Congradulations to everyone! It's been a wonderful 6 months. This has been an incredible journey for all of us. Take Care, Terry

Dang Im just bearly where a few of you all started. the 200's are still a far off dream to me and I'll never see the 100's. Wish I had done this surgery before I got so big. Congrats to everyone! Patti, in Montague MI
