I am a loser.

 WAY TO GO, DANIEL!!!!   Wishing you only the best, Rhonda

Congrats Dan!  I know you will do great! I often get called a dope dealer because of the post op drugs I give.  And I am licensed to do so!!! LOL!

Thanks for all of your replies. Dan

Congrats for joining us losers Dan! I am happy to hear that you are doing so well. I can not believe you walked a mile already. That is amazing. But do not pu**** Try to get some rest too! Keep up the great work and don't forget to sip sip and sip. Get in your fluids. Congrats!

Congradulations Daniel !! :)

Hey! I am sooo happy for you... I remember when you was still researching and hoping to get surgery... I was really hoping that you'd get your wish. Next thing I know... you've had it done. I wish you the absolute best. I had a setback in my surgery but it was nothing that the surgeons did at all and it was unexplainable but I tell you that was the only time that I questioned my having this surgery, I was sad but I had just hoped that I made the right choice. Other than that I never regretted having this done... I have been so happy. I was on the smaller side of this surgery but so far as of today I have lost 48lbs and i'm only 2 months post op. I think I would have lost an extra 7 lbs had I not been in the hospital on fluids for a week. People are starting to notice a change but more importantly I'm just happy that I'm finally under the 220 range... I am at 209 and I haven't weighed this since like 7 years ago. I enjoy being able to only to eat half a sandwich and not feel hungry at all. I love it! and I truly wish you the best..... You'll be a lot lighter on your feet and full of energy.
