Before surgery at my highest I was 256. I had surgery on September 17, 2012. Today I weigh 175! I am so glad I chose to have this surgery and had it done by Dr. Kim in Dallas/Ft. Worth. He is the best, IMHO! I go for blood work tomorrow to make sure I'm not lacking in anything. I'm on this iPad and not sure how to post pics yet so will tomorrow. My transformation is pretty drastic as I am short! Feeling the best I have in years! 30 more pounds and I'm happy, happy, happy!
