Guest guest Posted November 5, 2001 Report Share Posted November 5, 2001 Well, it's been a while since I've talked to you folks, and just thought I'd check in. I started this whole thing somewhat over a year ago....I had my DS surgery on July 5th of last year (2000). At the time of surgery, I weighed 465. I now weigh, as of this morning, 238. I am 6-3. In July I had a gastroplaasty to get rid of the hanging fat. They took off 45 pounds of skin and fat...the most the surgeon had ever taken off. I have some scars, but have completely recovered, and I can't tell you what the changes in my life are like. Today I went to theOld Navy clothing store...they had RACKS of clothes that were to LARGE for me. I'm used to buying from the samll bin at the back of the store with the weird clothes in it, and getting the biggest thing they had in the store. Now I can shop at K-Mart. Not that I WANT to shop at K-Mart....but I can. Just to let you all know...this thing works. It make a miraculous change in my life. Hang in there...it's worth it. I posted some pictures on the Yahoo groups page of me at three weights, if you want to see them. The file folder is called " Fords Pictures " I think.

My DH and I looked at your pics together last night, and I must say that it really helps him to become more relaxed about my upcoming switch seeing and hearing about such wonderful results!!!! We are both very happy for you. Thanks for taking the time to leave a record for those coming behind!!!!
