So!  It took me 9 months and 2 days.  My highest weight was 304.  My pre-surgery weight was 298.  Today I am 165.  (3 Pounds BELOW goal!)

I see my surgeon tonight for a follow up and he's gonna be so proud of me!  He better be careful, because I'm so excited I just might hug the stuffin' outa him.  

YOU ROCK!! Keep it up!

Great job!  Consider submitting your before and after's to the front page so others can see your success and visualize it for themselves!

Here is my horrible pic of when I weighed 304.  I'm happy to say goodbye to those days FOREVER!!!

Also, I'm looking to go another 15 pounds or so... but I'll confirm that with my doc tonight.  I wanna be skinny, but most importantly I want to be healthy.  

Congrats! Way to go.

WOW. You look great. What a difference. 

I also wanna shout out to all you wonderful people here who helped me along the way.  I started posting here when I was still in my 6 months of classes for insurance approval.  And from the very beginning I learned far more from you all than I did from all the the docs, NUTs, classes and literature they gave me.  When you need the real story, go to those that have BTDT.

Thanks to all the vets that are still here long after their own journey was completed.  It's truly inspirational the help you have given me and so many others.

OH ROCKS!

You are an inspiration to this if us just starting out.  Thank you and congrats! 

YAY!! Good for you! You look fantastic. 

Great job.
