One year ago today, at 2:00pm, I had my initial phone interview from my bariatric program. I had enough and took the step.

I was always dead-set against surgery and prayed daily for God to help me. I awoke one day at peace on the surgery and made the call. I weighed 329lbs.

ONE. YEAR. TO. THE. DAY I wake to this blessing! 199.8 on the scale.

God works in mysterious ways but, in this case, no mystery...just Gods Grace!

Oct 1 will be 7 months to the day of my surgery

That is so amazing!!! Congratulations to you! God is great!!!

OMG congratulations!!! That is absolutely amazing!!! You must feel incredible. I'm so happy for you

Congratulations and Welcome to One-derland!

Excellent Fred. That has to feel great. I'll be having a Duodenal Switch as well and will be following you.

Great work! Healthy feels awesome, doesn’t it?

Well done you Fred. You (YOU) have lost loads of weight after your surgery and I'm so glad you're now seeing the benefits! ?

As an atheist I have absolutely no idea how and why you would want to attribute all your hard work and your loss to some deity or other but - yunno - absolutely good on you if you need to do that! We all get though our surgery and lose our weight in whatever way we can. I don't do that but kudos to anyone who needs to and does. Onwards and downwards.
