Count me in, please! I'll give you my CW on Monday but you can put my GW as 126

MarceMonster - I don't have any photos handy right now, but I'll see what I can find. I definitely have more 'after" photos than "before" photos, but I may have one that was taken the day before my surgery. Good luck with your surgery and have faith in the process. It's an amazing ride!!!

I am 5' and had my VSG in May, 2014. To date, I've lost 125 lbs. I lost 100 lbs in 8 months and the rest has come off slowly since January. According to the BMI charts, I still need to lose 4 pounds to be at the highest weight possible in the "normal" category. While I'll definitely get there, I don't know how much lower than that I can (or want to) go. I asked my Dr. about it and he said body composition is a more accurate indicator than BMI, so I'm having a DEXA Scan next week. It will be interesting to compare my BMI number with my Scan.

I had my gallbladder removed 8 months after my VSG. It was a piece of cake. Surgery at 7 am, home by 1:00 the same day. I felt better immediately and only missed 3 days of work. Good luck, I'm sure you'll do great!

I'm doing the Tinkerbell half on May 10.
