I just registered as a member today and I dont really know what I'm doing (LOL). I've never been a member of anything like this before but I just want to say that I had my surgery done on December 27, 2007. I've lost 70 pounds so far. I started out at 275lbs. I've got another 30-40 pounds more to lose. It's been a crazy journey but I would'nt change it for the world!!!:thumbup:
