poohbear1019 31 Posted December 12, 2013 poohbear1019 i have found as i get older my hearing and eyesight are not as good as before did you say you lost 242lbs???? did i read that right??? holy moly dude or dudette you must look and feel wonderful so happy for you keep up the great job (i know you will ) good luck kathy congrats Hey Kathy, I'm a dude I started Pre Op weight was 436. Because I had severe diabetes, I was prescribed a miracle drug called Victoza. That help me drop 50 pounds. The day of my surgery I was 379. Today I weighed in at 194. Total weight lost is 242. Weight lost since surgery 185. It is hard for me to believe myself. And as I left my doctor's office I realized it has been 9 months to the day. I appreciate all of your responses and kind words. I would love to help out anyone that is pre op or post op that is struggling. I don't have all the answers, it has been a struggle, I've been very lonely. I am grateful for receiving the surgery and the outcome. I really think it is part of God's plan for me. On Monday I was told that I have been hired for a job that is going to change the course of my life. This is miracle #2! I am overwhelmed by everybody's responses! Thank you and God Bless all of you!
