sorry its been a little bit(holidays). so im 210!!you know, my personal goal has always been 200, but i am going to pass that. i feel great, look completely different, every aspect of life is better!
my wife is down to 170! shes like 30 pounds away(same as me, by what Dr. Ortiz said we would be) you know its funny, the doc said it would take me a year to hit his goal, and my wife 2 years.... well shes right on track with me. we are both very,very happy and wouldnt do anything different, except.......... do it sooner in life! i really feel like you get outta this what you put into it. follow their directions, they know what they are talking about. DONT CHEAT...IT ONLY HURTS YOUR PROGRESS!
anyways, im out. good luck to all and have a happy new year... ill have christina post pics soon!thanks, kevin

I dont know how everybody else used their surgury, but so far ive used mine as a TOOL. I didnt want anything missing in me, i just wanted a chance to control my life again....eating, exercise, work, ect... plication gave me that. it hasnt been 4 months yet for me, and imdoing great. im down 77lbs. since surgery and my wife is down 60. im eating better, less,... working harder , and more. Doc said my projected weight would be 193. i said 200. i know im going to make it. i went to mexico, and i would do it again!

I have stalled many times. Currently I weigh the same as I did a month ago. I keep going up and down with same 3 lbs. So very frustrating. I've only lost 7 lbs since Christmas. Remember, we're in this for the long haul. For the rest of our lives. It's not just a temprary diet. We have to learn how eat. Change all of our old eating habits.
