That's awesome. I'm 6'6" and one of my goals is to get back into a ratty size L t-shirt I have from college in 1992. At my heaviest, I was a 3x and am more or less a 2x now. Sizes have changed in the last 20 years, though, so a large then is like what's labeled a medium now, in my experience, anyway.

Congrats on losing the 52lbs and good luck with your surgery.

Thanks, man. Day three is fine. Home and resting. Abdominal wall feels like crap and I'm sore, but I'll live. Able to sleep, keep down my 1oz-at-a-time liquids, walk around (once I stand up ), etc. Not feeling fantastic, but feeling better than I expected to be. It's all good so far.
