That is amazing. I met a man at the GNC store today that had lost 200 pounds. He looked fantastic. I ask him if he had any regrets. He said only the first week. Now he his very happy. I also watched big medicine last night. There was a 1000 pound man that had the surgery and had lost 450, so far. He was a work in progress.(me too)  That was amazing. He put clothes on and sat up for the first time in 10 years. I saw them do the surgery. There was also a man on there that only weighed 260. The doctor said it was harder to operate on him than it was to work on the 1000 pound man. The second man had what they called a beer belly. His weight was mostly in his belly. (I have a lot there too). They said that there was a lot of fat around his organs. I probably shouldn'****ch those shows, but it always turns out ok on t.v. LOL Take care.
