Question:
I have now lost 102 pounds!!

I just wanted to brag! I am now 7 months post op and have lost 102 pounds as of today! I never thought it would be possible! But it is. I had surgery June 17, 1999 and wieghed 355 with a BMI of 54. Now I weigh 253 with a BMI of 44.0! Just thought I would give the good news to all who are still deciding and to those not this far yet. Thanks for letting me brag! Cheri    — Cheri H.

Congratulations on your achievement!! I enjoy reading of others' experiences. My surgery is scheduled for March 15, 2000, and those stories give me a healthy boost in confidence. Keep up the good work!

Well now that you all know how terribly silly I am I shall endeavor to correct my previous post! Can you imagine anyone loosing 1022 pounds in 7 months?! DUHHH! I am sorry I did not proof read this before I sent it . I will try again. I have now lost 102 pounds and have a BMI of 38.3! And to add to my previous brag... I tried on a pair of my husbands jeans and could zip them up standing up! I can finally wear a real pair of jeans from Kmart or any where else. And not have to pay $$$$$ for them. Thanks for letting a silly person brag!
