My doctor told me yesterday it would be possible that I might only lose 60 pounds. This gives me hope that I will lose all the weight I need too. Congratulations

Thank you so much for posting!!! This really hit home for me, as we are the same height and were close to the same weight when we started. I don't see too many other women as tall as I am on the forums, and it was fantastic to see your pictures. You look great!!!! Keep up the good work!!!

I had surgery about the same time Oct 30, and I have lost 45 lbs. Can you share what you eat daily and what type of exercise you do and how often? I also need to lose the same as you. I felt so heavy that even walking has been hard for me. I know exercise is now going to be the key for more loss.

Sorry btrieger,

Your math is incorrect. Her starting weight was 349 and she lost 102 which make her 247. Her goal weight is 170 and it means she needs an additional 77lbs to meet that goal. Therefore, she knew exactly what she was saying. She looks great!

That is fantastic!

I'm in the process of figuring out how to afford the surgery (ins doesn't cover it). Do you have any regrets? Did you have any problems with the Band? What's been the hardest part? Is there anything you would do differently if you had to do it over? Sorry about all of the questions...but I'd greatly appreciate your advice.

Keep up the great work....you're truly inspiring!
