MY FART-- w/ a big THANKS

I know I don't post much to this board, but I read alot more than I post.   I want many of you out there to know how much of an inspiration you have been to me both leading up to surgery, and following my surgery.  Your success stories have been an inspiration to me. My big deal this week is that I officially am no longer considered Medically obese. I post my statistics almost weekly on the board, but here they are for those just reading this post, updated for today: Highest weight:  350+ DOS:                     322 lbs Today:                   199 lbs Total loss:  151 lbs. I arbitrarily set 205 as my goal, as that was what I weighed 9 years ago before I gained all this weight.  It also happened to be the top of the "normal" BMI range for my height. Once again, the purpose of this is to thank all of you who contribute so much to this board, and were there for me when I was researching, and deciding on whether to do this surgery. --Dave

Great work, Dave. Congratulations !!

Dave your thoughts are mine. I never found the mens board til after the surgery. I went to the general forum. It was helpful, but I thought I was the only man in the world having this surgery.

Dave -

Great job. Good to hear the news.

Man I know that 80% of the folks that read here dont post. Thats all good!!!! We are all here for each other.

Glad ya'll found the forum. Keep us posted on the continued progression.
