Good morning-I had the operation-in Huntsville Al-August 15-1997-and wish I could have had it 30 years ago.My weight at time of the operation was 297 lbs.Its allmost six months-and My present weight is 238.But that is not the big story.before I was tired all the time-Mostly sat on my butt-I am 70 years old and felt 97.:scared2: But now I am alive again.I have lots of energy.I can breath easier-No more Blood pressure problems,no more blood suger problems-I am off those medications.:tt2:No more diets-my goal is 190 pounds-and I will make it--I walk,I swim laps, and work out on the fitlinxx machines at the YMCA.
