Congratulations to you! You look amazing! Loved your story. What an awesome journey this is! I will be 10 months post op on the 28th of this month. I've gone from 309lbs to 168lbs and a size 26/28 to a size 10. It's amazing all the things we can do now. I did a 5k for the first time ever a couple weeks ago and I couldn't believe how easy it was. Now I'm going to do a half marathon in April and eventually I want to do a full marathon.

You look absolutely amazing! Those photos are such an inspiration! I know you want to lose more (as I do) but looking at you in the "current" pictures you look like a regular sized guy - would have never guessed you have lost 200#!!!

I also love how you look at your weight losses - 80% of your excess in the first year is outstanding for a person who started with a high BMI!

Thanks for sharing your story and you should frame your photo montage of progress - and hold that up to your face everytime you are feeling a little blue - you are already a tremendous success in my book.

OUTSTANDING! FABULOUS!! INSPIRATIONAL!! indeed. God is truly Amazing.

Yes God is amazing it takes a lot of faith to even think about the idea of surgery.

Very very encouraging! You have done great!

How awesome!! I am so encouraged by this! Seems like so many that do the sleeve are not nearly as heavy as I am and that had had me scared but I need to lose as much as you have and I have a better feeling that I can now do this!! My surgery is on Oct. 30, 2012! The day that changed my life!!

Just stick to the program and look ahead to your goal. Don't let any single day or weigh in get in your head. You can do this!! Good luck.

It feels great Monique. I really feel like a new man. Sometimes I just want to break out in a run just because I can. My wife likes it too.
