Ive lost 70% EWL in 6 months

I had 116 pounds to lose to get to the top of "normal" on BMI charts.... I've lost 82 pounds as of yesterday.... makes for 70% excess weight loss....

My surgeon says he considers anything over 50% a success....fortunately my goals are loftier... I will lose 136 pounds and then maybe an additional 10 vanity pounds...the latter may not ever happen but Im sure as heck gonna try.

    Amazing weightloss! Congratulations. Would like to hear how this loss has impacted your health.

    I had no real co-morbs before surgery ....achy knees....swollen feet.... I went from squeezing into size 10 shoes to a size 9 with a lil room to spare... and I had a few achy joints last month that the Dr attributed to my body adjusting to weight loss, bones shifting, etc....
