    I have lost 38lbs from 1/3/13 and I haven't been doing much exercise (which I should be doing more) but I'm not trying to drop too fast. My colleague had the surgery and she lost so much weight so fast she didn't like her appearance. She looks much better versus looking cracked out.

    Great job on lose of 38 lbs! I had the same worries as you did losing to fast and looking sickly but my surgeon explained , you will only look sickly if you are just losing fat. However, if you go to the gym and build muscle ( 3-4 times a wk) you will shape up and look healthy. So today im joining planet fitness basiic membership $10 a month. God bless
