Well it's been a little over 5 months. Down 80 lbs to 191. It feels SO different! I still have a good way to go but I have no worries about getting there. I feel like I am 25 years younger. The only real issue is my hair loss (dammit ) and also anemia but those will be temporary, I'm sure. Gosh, why was I so fat for so long? Praise God for modern medicine.

Thank you all and God bless. I can cross my legs now, I can wear semi-high heels, I can get out of a bathtub, I can buy non-plus sizes, I can sleep comfortably, bras are no longer devices of torture, I can walk pretty much as far as I want, I don't snore anymore, and I am NEVER hungry. Food no longer rules my life. What a miracle this journey is. We are so fortunate to live in a time when medicine can do do much for us. I hope you all are as happy with your decision as I am and are enjoying your new lives. Yay for all of us!

Congrats! I can't wait to be in your shoes soon!

I am so looking forward to being able to do all of the things you can now do! I'll probably cry tears of joy the first time I buy non-plus size clothes!

<-------jealous!!! I am still waiting.
