Thank you to everyone on this forum. Without it I don't think I would have had the courage to start this journey. Sometime over the holidays I hit my goal weight of 175. Thats down from 245 at my heaviest and 228 day of surgery.

I haven't been on this forum for quite some time, but I just had a look at my before pics. Holy cow. I cant believe I was that person. I feel 100% more confident and better about myself. I have lost 80 lbs and for the first time since middle school have been in a normal weight BMI zone.

I went from size 38-40 jeans to 29-30. XL shirts to Medium.

This is an incredible tool and I wish I could go back and give everyone who struggles with weight this gift. It has given me my life back and allowed me to blossom into a person that has been buried under extra weight for so long.

Again, many thanks to all of you for support and guidance on this journey!

Awesome !

Well done, man.

Congrats! On all your hard work and dedication to this journey.

Fantastic job! Congratulations

Whoo hoo!! Awesome job!

Great job!!

Awesome. Congratulations

Yay! Congratulations! I know exactly how you feel about wishing you could give everyone this gift. I see people in my own life struggling with their weight and it is heartbreaking that the social stigma against WLS had deterred them from the only option that will likely work for them. All we can do is be a shining, living example of how successful and life-changing WLS can be!

Fantastic work! Celebrate! (throws confetti).

Amazing! Here is an article I found on SparkPeople.com about what things weigh. Can you imagine now that your previous weight was like wearing a full gown Irish Setter for a belt?
