  12. hi i had my surgery on january 13th 09, so far i have lost 64lbs. after surgery.before surgery 40lbs. so that totals 104lbs so far, the begining i was 324lbs. sofar no complications.january is my one year mark.i could not be happier.cuople of months the doctor says i don,t need a fill.sometimes i lose 5lbs a month. so i think that is average.everytime i go to use the bathroom the scale just keep calling me so i have to answer,it seems so additive.
