I have no idea why I decided to come on here and post an update. This page was my OBSESSION before and after surgery. I started at 317 in 2010 and have been sitting comfortably between 145-150 since 2012. I still have constant food noise and my appetite and portion sizes are 100% that of a normal person. All my labs are normal except iron. This really is a tool and you have to make permenant lifestyle changes for it to work long term. I am still very grateful for where I am now.
Here is a pic of pre op 2010

and a few recent ones
Good luck everyone!
( and clearly healthy too :)
