I like to say congrats to everyone who made this decision to have the surgery. Before my date (4-8-13) with the knife, I read so many success stories on this board. I couldn't wait to be one of u. I now am one of u. I went from 343 to 229 (weighted in this morn). I can't believe I lost 114lbs in 4 1/2 months. I have so much energy now that I've been running over 2 miles now for the last few weeks. Started off walking with little bursts of a jog. The effect it has had on my 3 boys is the reason I took this journey. We do some much together now that I tire them out lol. Good luck to everyone and never look back

Hey handsome I'm also glad I made this decision. I'm 14 months post up. I shouldn't lose anymore weight I'm already size zero. I want to stay between 115/125 I'm 124 according to the bariatric scale. (I wanna say that's a lie lolz) I was 122 in the regular md office but hey I'm slim who cares what the numbers are...
