Well, I'm about a week and a half away from my one year surgery anniversary. My starting weight was 387 pounds. When I got on the scales this morning for my weekly weigh in an whala the scale told me that I weighed 196 pounds. That's 200 pounds in about one year. I am so stoked. I went for years being obese, adding more and more co morbidities, adding more drugs, for high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiomyopathy, kidney disease and not to mention chronic back pain and COPD. Now with one year in my sights, literally all of these problems are either gone or remission.

I am so thankful for my surgical team, my wife and children and the support of my co workers for my success.

I wish you all continued success in your weight loss journey.

Keep up the good work! ! You look great!

How do they remove them? Can it be done in a doctor office or is it a surgery?

Its a surgery but it was wasn't a bad one. I had seven of them removed at once.

Thanks, hopefully mine will shrink too.

I have them also and they are painful at times. Ive had several removed. They are there even when im skinny.
