I'm sure you feel great though. It's all about getting healthy and feeling amazing. I would take skin over fat any day also. You look awesome!!

No, I don't have any. Lucky genes the surgeon says. I'm very blessed. Thank you.

[ATTACH]42854[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]42855[/ATTACH] I can't even explain how much this surgery has changed my life. I'm so blessed and love my second chance. Surgery was 5/14/13 First pic - 273 lbs in 8/2012 Second pic yesterday at 135 lbs Size 22 to a size 6. Great journey !!

Tell me about it. I'm now in a size 6 from a size 22! Its crazy. I look at these size 6 clothes and think, no way! But I'm actually a size 6. Just incredible. Our mind hasn't caught up yet. It's a wonderful feeling.

I jumped right into it. Just started walking/running, walking/running until I ran all the way. It gets easier every run. When I first started, I could only run half a lap. Now I run 3 miles without stopping. <3 Good luck.

Thank you. I started running about 4 weeks post op. I run 4-5 x a week about 2.5-3 miles.

Last week my 9 month post op appt with my surgeon went Great! Thirteen pounds away from my goal. He actually says, I've lost more than the norm. However, I do have a new passion since surgery! It's Running! I've gone from a size 22 to a size 6 in pants and 8 jeans and small tops. I'm so happy with my decision to change my life forever. I would do it all over again. He also asked me to speak at his next Pre op conference. I was honored. [ATTACH]42093[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]42094[/ATTACH]
