Just a little about me

[bigboy4 0]

ive been wandering around this site for about a year now, just reading up on everyones success stories and also the complications people have had with this surgery. Ive been overweight all my life and my family doctor recommended that i have a surgical procedure done to combat my obesity. So I attended all the seminars, doctor visits, so on and so forth and became eligible for surgery. Im self pay so i i didnt have to deal with insurance companies. My two week pre op diet started on July 5 and was at the weight of 364. Operation was July 19 and operation weight was 354 so a 10 lb loss during the diet. Today is September 1st and im at 309 lbs. So ive lost a total of 55 lbs in less than two months, or 45 lbs in 40 days post op. I look and feel great and i really want to keep my success going. I just thought i should share this with everyone because everyone on this site has had a big influence on me and has given me all the support and knowledge i needed to make this life changing decision

Wow, congratulations on such an awesome loss so far! I'm glad you made this decision, and have been so successful thus far. Congratulations!

I had surgery on July 22nd, so about the same time as you. I feel like this is the best thing I have done for myself in a long time. Thanks for sharing your story so far. Welcome!
