Apology Directly To Scottie (everybody else don't worry about it)

I'm extraordinarily sorry that you feel that way, Scottie and even in lieu of the petty, childish comments you've made I will still apologize wholeheartedly directly to you in this open letter.  I blocked you for the reason that you were basically flaming me and as an adult it is my right to do as I wish, however, I respect this forum and the guys here and I do not wish for this to go on any longer.  This is my last say in the matter, take it or leave it, but just move off it.  Lance

no apology necessary....btw congrats on your success so far, it appears that you're almost at goal...thats awesome. Scott

Thanks, I'm about 60 pounds away (really 30, but I want to lose 60 more if possible)

your still a new post op...it's defintely possible, although you might decide 60 lbs is too much once you get there....at 191 I looked ill (i'm 6'1'' too) but  then again, I was much heavier then you, and ended up with a lot of excess skin....you might not have that issue.  have you started to weight lift yet?  It makes a huge difference in the type of weight you drop....fat vs. muscle mass.  In the initial weight loss phase you drop both, but  you should fight for every drop of  muscle you can maintain.   It much easier to maintain then to build new muscle. I wish I spent more of my first year weight lifting rather then doing aerobic exercise, I think it's better for weight loss and how you look once the weight loss is done. Scott

I actually just started back going to the gym today and I did some ab crunches and some arm stuff but I do need to get into going all the time because I don't want too much skin problems (that I already have) I need to fill it with muscle lol

your lucky that you had WLS when you were younger rather then older.  You still have a lot of advantages for the whole skin/muscle thing going for you.   You will be able to build muscle faster then older guys and your skin will tighten up better then it did for most of us.   Scott

christ get a room you two :P

Ahhhh, this is so lovely. You guys got it worked out and are still friends. I think I got a tear in my eye. 

drama...do I detect some -- wait, sorry, I thought I cared! Jim
