Hey I'm 6 months out and have lossed 72 pounds... I have only 36 more pounds before reaching my goal weight. Let me encourage all of you, not to let doctors or anyone elses opinion to be the last one you rely on... Yes there are factors to consider but yours is the one that drives what you can do! Be encouraged!

I had my VS surgery Jan. 28, 2011 my weight was at 268. Five days later it was at 255. I am now at 245. I must say that my experience in the hospital was like many of you all. Drinking for the first time was a rude awakeining. This is one I realized that something was different. I have exercised and 1hr 3days out of the week and plan on increasing to 5 days. I must say that, being that Im 3 weeks since my surgery, I am a little paranoid about, if Im eating too much or did my staples come apart or if Im stretching my stomach, all the things I hear can happen AFTER I had my surgery. smh This is why I joined this discussion group, to gain insight and share my journey.
