Hello to all from the flopeyeman

Hello to all I just wanted to say hello I have been on the South Carolina board for a while did not now about this board until last night I live in Great falls SC and had my open bypass in Charleston on august 30 of 06 my surgeon was Dr T Karl Byrne and he is wonderful, my weight before surgery was 740 yes I said 740 and I was totally bedridden on oxygen all of the time and was on several med for diabetes including two shots of insulin a day I went to my family  Dr. and I got  weighed and I'm down to 457.1 that is a total loss of 282.9 pounds and I'm off of the oxygen and completely off of the diabetic meds and as a bonus I drove myself to the Dr. office  got out and walked all of the way inside and after ward walked out to the truck and then drove home that was the first time in over ten years that I've been able to do that and it felt great!!!
