Dude.

Ok, you don't EVEN look like the same guy as the one in your avi! (hehe)

Congrats. You have my permission to spank me, call me out for bad behavior and correct my mind anytime you want as long as I can end up with such spectacular results!

Fantastic job! The other posters are 100% right, you look like a completely different person. Amazing visual results aside, how do you feel?

Awesome job! Different surgery on my end, but I can relate as our stats/build are similar.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!! it really means a lot.

[FluffyChix 17,413]

Ok, so I can get on with life. You are in fact NOT the old guy/dad from the 70s sitcom, Family Ties, masquerading as a short order line cook?

how do you feel?

feel amazing/incredible/extraordinary!!! words can't describe. a complete 180 life reversal. i'm alive again.

no complications - no insulin dumping syndrome, no throwing up or foamies, no strictures. not a single food i can't tolerate, though it doesn't matter because all i crave is super healthy stuff.

some health stats:

Blood pressure - 185/125 down to 115/70

fasting glucose - 125 down to 89

HbA1C - 7.1 down to 4.9

Insulin - 10 down to 4.4

LDL cholesterol - 305 down to 156

HDL cholesterol - 44 to 81

cortisol - 20.5 down to 5.4 (still a bit high... probably stress of losing weight so fast?)

liver ALT/AST - 64/103 down to 20/20

i was a runner for all my life. ran a half-marathon at 265lbs! it was always so hard.... for 20 YEARS! now i go out and i just glide... float. i'm actually mad! like... THIS is what running is supposed to be like?!? actually ENJOYABLE?!? (allow me to reiterate - people are not skinny because they exercise. they exercise because they are skinny.)
