I posted 3 month post op pictures on my profile. Had my nurse appointment with Dorothy today and I'm down 66 pounds from my pre-op, pre-LD weight. My BMI is 26.9, down from 37. So I'm almost at a "normal" weight (I know -- that is debateable). I've lost 12 inches on my waist and 10 on my hips. Dorothy didn't measure them but I'm down 10 inches on my bust too. I've lost 67% of my excess body weight. Dorothy said they figure people will lose 75% so I'm close to what they said I'd probably top at. I still want to lose the other 30 pounds so I'll keep on doing what I've been doing and "get 'er done"!!!

OMG! WOW - those pictures speak VOLUMES! It's amazing how much you have changed in just 3 months. I looked at your pre-op pics and honestly I don't remember you looking that big - I think because I always thought of you as much smaller than me that I don't think I really realized how much you actually could lose. The transformation is just amazing - you must be overwhelmed when you look at those pics! You are doing a fantastic job Barb - you are minding all your p's and q's and doing everything by the book - it is absolutely showing on you! You should be so proud of yourself and just know that you're an inspiration to everyone around you! Keep it up Barb - you'll lose those 30 in no time at all! Love ya girlie!
