Wow! Sometimes the stats amaze me! And Gastric..yes, Im one of your regular readers. I follow several from VST. Its so interesting to see the life altering change after this surgery...and most in such a short period. There has to be some self image shock with that. I expect to lose slow once I get there. Im not only not in the highest of BMI but Im only 5'0...lucky me lol..5lbs looks like 15. But I hope that works in reverse too. ; )
