Had surgery on July 25th 2012, and I'm doing and feeling great..... Targets in my signature..... Never felt better.

Great so far....20/9/2012 lost almost 30kg. That includes the weight loss from the pre-op diet too...now down to 106kg. Feeling great, good getting positive comments from everyone now. Biking to work, 13km each way, takes about 40minutes each way. Loosing between 1 and 2kg each week... Eddie
