Hey Kathy,

I'm a dude ;-) I started Pre Op weight was 436. Because I had severe diabetes, I was prescribed a miracle drug called Victoza. That help me drop 50 pounds. The day of my surgery I was 379. Today I weighed in at 194. Total weight lost is 242. Weight lost since surgery 185. It is hard for me to believe myself. And as I left my doctor's office I realized it has been 9 months to the day. I appreciate all of your responses and kind words. I would love to help out anyone that is pre op or post op that is struggling. I don't have all the answers, it has been a struggle, I've been very lonely. I am grateful for receiving the surgery and the outcome. I really think it is part of God's plan for me. On Monday I was told that I have been hired for a job that is going to change the course of my life. This is miracle #2! I am overwhelmed by everybody's responses!

Thank you and God Bless all of you!

glad you are so happy that the sleeve and your hard work brought you success :)

many times - people/me isolated themselves while being overweight, don't want to go out, be seen by others :(

hopefully, you'll become more confident in the future, meet more people, and make friends, not feel so lonely :)

keep up the good work :)

good luck with the new "life changing" job :)
