Way to go Duane! Congrats on the great FART!

Congrats Duane!  You're doing great brother - keep on keepin' on!!

awesome, man.  my surgery is tomorrow and it's great to see someone working their WLS and getting results.

Our specifics (starting weight, surgery type, etc.) are irrelevant ... what matters is that we are becoming new men, better men.  Men whose lives are no longer dominated by food.  Men who can live more, do more, and score as much red-hot monogamous lovin' as possible. 

Good luck tomorrow.  See you on the other side - we're clearing a spot on the loser's bench for you!

 You got that right!!!!  Good luck to you!

  How much more are you trying to get down to?

 I had a body fat analysis done in a Bod Pod a couple of weeks ago.  They said that I was at 42% and to be at 25% I should be at 236lbs.  I'm still thinking that I'd like to be in the 220lbs area so I guess I want to lose about another 60 or 65 pounds.  

 Thanks for the props. guys.
