Hi Jody, I had my surgery on the same day as you. I've been doing fine. I'm down 76# and feeling great! I need to get back on the exercise routine but have had one of those terrible colds and just felt wiped out. Looking forward to getting back on track. I have trouble getting my protein in but keep at that too. Glad to hear how well you are doing! I agree it is the smartest and best decision I have made! Take care and continued success! Jill G

Hi everyone- I am 3 1/2 months out and a total of 78 pounds down and I am feeling wonderful when I get all my protein and fluids in. I too sometimes get very lightheaded, and it means I have to up my fluid intake. Congrats to all of u!! Shannon

I had my surgery on 9/25. Pre-op I lost about 45 pounds, and all together i've lost 114. about the light-headedness, I recently found out that light headedness is caused by low blood pressure, especially if it's the kind that you get when you stand up suddenly. In our cases it's most likely that our low blood pressure is caused by dehydration. Since I found this out I've been trying harder to get all of my water in and it's been much better. Other than that and struggling to get my protein in, everything's going well!

Hi, I am down 51 lbs since surgery, and feeling great! I joined Ballys fitness today and worked out for 30 mins without losing my breath...I am not losing alot of inches yet, so I don't have the hanging skin, but I am sure that it'll come soon enough. I do feel light headed sometimes, but had my 3 mth check up today and blood work was normal. I am going to my 1st pilates class tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes! Stephanie

Hi Renee! I am having a bad case of the hanging skin too...Arms and rear end..woo. I am down 97 pounds to date. I am doing good so far. I feel alot better. My vitamins are going well and last blood work was good. I need to add a little more protein. Any suggestions? I have had a little of the forgetfulness too...Not too bad, but I will let the doc know next appointment ... Congrats on your success!!! Jen
