I had my surgery on Feb 12, 2007 in baytown texas by Dr. Edward Pina and have lost 92 pounds. I started at 224lbs. It has been fairly easy for me. I have only had problems with my Gallbladder and have since had it removed. Other than that no physical problems. I am how ever having problems with my friends. I only get from them you are too skinny. I liked you better with a bigger butt and it really hurts my feelings. My height and weight are in the normal range not high or low but in the middle. I am nowhere close to underweight. I have come so far and feel great. I have asthma and I am now off all my medication. I couldn't have asked for more. I am looking for a support group in the Baytown area if anyone knows of one please let me know.:thumbup:
