i had my 1st appointment on Jan 5th and just completed the entire process and am scheduled for Feb27th. It depends on how fast you can knock out the required steps prior to surgery.

Maintaining!

Just getting back on track after a year of not losing. I'm in the middle of a dramatic re-boot. (14.4 lbs lost in 8 days! Woo!) I'm about 2 years out. My anniversary is on Dec 17th! Here are some before/during shots!

HW: 491

CW: 264.1

Some before and "during" photos!

Left is about 2 weeks ago, mid-Nov 2016. Right is late Oct 2014, about 483 in that pic. Almost 10 lbs down from highest weight!

Just some face comparisons.

While I can't refer to you as hot, you've come a long way. In the most manly way that I can say this, you look good man!

I have a very deep voice. Think James Earl Jones or Barry White deep. Even when I was (really) fat, women would constantly gush over me and my voice - even if Mrs. LittleBill was present! She is used to it by now, but some of them get pretty demonstrative, and they are always asking me to "say something". The standard thing I say is "Oh baby, oh baby" whenever something like this comes up. I am not sure I am going to tell her you think I look good though, even though I I know it is in the most manly way possible. You know, just in case.

At any rate, thank you. I appreciate it.

@ Oh, I can talk just like him, western accent and all. Mrs. LittleBill doesn't know it yet, but I am working on growing out my mustache nice and bushy like his as well. I just have to keep my barber away from it. He is obsessed with trimming it down to a pencil 'stache every time I go there.

My insurance required 6 months of supervised medical weight loss diet before they would approve surgery.
