I had my surgery on October 8. I weigh in once a week...every Monday morning. Anyway, as of this a.m. I've lost 102 pounds. Not too shabby. This procedure has literally enabled me to reclaim my health. Blood work is perfect. No longer have sleep apnea. Actually don't need to guess whether or not I'll fit into a booth at a restaurant. I bought jeans at the Gap the other day. To be able to walk into a normal store and buy something off the rack felt pretty darn good. But, I hadn't realized how expensive things at the Gap had become. $59.95 for jeans? Really? Anyway, not a day goes by the I don't get incredibly nice compliments from friends and acquaintances. I've still got about 35 pounds to go and have no doubt I'll get there. Hope everyone is well.

Way to go! Congrats

Awesome! So happy to hear this has worked for you!

That's awesome!

Congrats, really great to hear your story! I am only 17 days post op, although am losing weight now, I keep thinking that this is going to stop soon and I will never make it to my goal weight. it haunts me but for now I really can not do much since I am still weeks away from eating salads and vegetables to stay full on healthy stuff.

Shopping has been a punishment for years, I can't wait to be able to fit in again in some of those TJ Maxx bargains

Im super proud of you! I am on day 4 and this is truly inspiring to see your success. Congratulations! We know your remaining goal is going to be met with a parade and band!!!

You are an inspiration for sure. I am 5 days post op and hope to have as great a success. Keep it up

Congrats! What a positive post! Us newbies need this!
