Congrats Joshua!  I still remember the approval day. It was such a weight lifted off of my shoulder. Gary

I read your profile and I'm impressed by how you've lost the weight so far.  Getting the surgery should help you to lose even more weight and to be able to get more exercise.  You already know how to eat correctly so that will put you at an obvious advantage once you are pos-op.  You won't be able to eat as much at your meals and will surely progress with your weight loss.  I'm so glad that you are able to get the WLS at your age.

Glad to hear it Josh!  Since you've already lost 200 on your own, I"m sure you'll be able to handle this, and lose even quicker.  Glad to see another big guy do good! Dale
