I started with a consult in 11/2009 at 338. Lost 30 pounds during 6 month pre op supervised diet. I had surgery 07/22/2010. I had to have my port replaced in 4/2011 the tubing had kinked and was stuck/sticking up in fatty tissue, surgeon has no idea why this happened had never seen before. I weighed 229 at my last weigh in a few weeks before my one year anniversary. Ideally I would like to lose another 60 pounds. I know it will be slow but hopefully with an extra big push at the gym I can drop 30 by the start of next year.

Pictures attached ... the first is at consult, really bad scan from a friend, the ones in brown top night before surgery I think that is water on my shirt lol .. then the last a couple of weeks before my anniversary.
