Hi. I'm Russ and I started out at 470 pounds

[RussT 495]

Hi there. I had my gastric sleeve surgery on November 9th 2016.

I was 470 pounds before the 2 week pre-op diet. Was down to 440 the day of surgery and now one week post-op I'm 420.

I made a video that tells my story better than typing it. I'll do another video in a month or so I guess.

Everything that you are saying is totally what we all go thru!! Our WLS helps us by making it physically able to follow our path. The mind is a powerful part of this. The surgery is a TOOL but we really have to do the work!! If only the surgery fixed our head too. You have awesome outlook on your expectations!! Good Luck on your Journey!! I look forward to following it.
