Diablowizzard 4 Posted June 28, 2012 I had my sugery aug 31 of this year. I was two pounds shy of five hundred pounds. All I could do was lay in bed all day because I couldn't walk more than a few yards before my legs would give out. Now I have lost close to two hundred pounds and still losing about ten or 12 pounds a month. I am able to walk over a mile with no trouble. I am so thankful for Dr Bernie Hanna for doing such a great job. I don't have any side effects and have a happy life now with my wife who stuck with me the whole way! 4 CJ_Redux, ShouldBlittler, SophieJaneB and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rootman 1,101 Posted June 28, 2012 Congrats on your success! Your post is a little confusing though, you say you HAD your surgery in this year in August, yet it's just now the end of June. Did you have surgery last year? Keep up with it. I now swim 2 miles and bike 10 miles 3 or 4 days a week (no biking this week with temps in the 100's) without hardly breaking a sweat as you lose your energy will soar as you lose more. Congrats again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
