Well here I am, 6 months post-op! Wow what a ride it's been too. Seems like only yesterday I was a super morbidly obese cardiac patient sitting in the hospital, fending off dirty looks and sneers from skinny people that were repulsed by the sight of me. Anyway, I'm super thankful for my VSG and the new lease on life the weight loss has given me. Just this last weekend I flew in an airplane and not only didn't need a belt extension, but I also had about 8 inches of seat belt to spare! I'm about 45 Lbs from my goal now and it's looking like this is really going to happen! I weigh 270 Lbs and for those that are counting, thats 136 Lbs of weight loss. Thanks again for all the well wishes, encouragement, and support during this past 6 months.
Hugs to you all... Craig

Please excuse the baggy pants and shirt. I guess you could say I'm not trying to win any fashion contests? ...just dressing comfortably for the 108 degree weather here in Az..

Way to go bro!
I feel great about being just obese and not super obese...What was so "super" about that anyway?
Awesome job in just 6 months! Congrats...
All the best -
Jason
