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!

grateful for receiving the surgery and the outcome - i have been hired for a job that is going to change the course of my life!!!

hey dude

glad you are so happy that the sleeve and your hard work brought you success

many times - people/me isolated themselves while being overweight, don't want to go out, be seen by others

hopefully, you'll become more confident in the future, meet more people, and make friends, not feel so lonely

starting a great new job

having wonderful people like us around

what more can you ask for

keep up the good work

good luck with the new "life changing" job

bet its gonna be great

I have confidence in you

here is to your frist 9 months, with many many many!!!! more to follow

keep up the good work for the rest of your healthier, happier, longer life

good luck

kathy

congrats
