Here are some before and after photos of me.
Before (10-2011): 360 lb
In Rome near the Colosseum.
Surgery date (07-02-2012): 335 lb
I started to lose weight in may 2012, 2 months before surgery.
After (05-24-2013): 188 lb
At home in the back yard.
My lowest was 177 lb in February 2013. I have gained about 10 lb of lean muscle since then. "After" is still a work in progress as I am working on strength training over the summer months. No lose skin except for a little around the front of the stomach. It will probably go away by end of this summer.
