My husband had surgery about 10 years ago. I had it on 3/3/09. I was 294 the day of surgery. I got down to 190, but have been steadily gaining since then. I'm now at 240 and I'm completely disgusted with myself. My husband has also gained quite a bit back. We have vowed to do something about it and the new year is our starting point. I'm happy to have found a "group" to share my journey with. Here we go!!!
