My surgeon was Dr Elariny in Fairfax, VA. Am I satisfied with my weight

loss? Yep....down from 465 to 238 (BMI 63 down to 32.

Bowel movements and gas....I'm fine with them. More gas that I used to have,

and it smells weird, but I eat a lot of fat. An exchange I'd make any time.

But then, I work at home, and don't have others using the same bathroom as I

do, except for my wife. She considers the smell a sign of good health.

<grin>

I eat exactly what I want. The only effort I make in my diet is to try and

get in a good bit of protein....oh, no! choke down that steak! I can't eat

as much as I used to by a long shot, but I eat what I want, and eat till I

don't want any more....who could ask for more? I learned early on that I

needed to START my meal with the stuff I enjoyed the most...I used to save

the best for last, but if I did that now, I'd never EAT the best.

I feel bony and skinny, and I'm very happy feeling like that. Who knew I had

bones?

I would be very happy to live the rest of my life just where I am,

weight-wise. The best part is that " the rest of my life " will be a great

deal longer than it would have been if I had not got so skinny.

Hi Ford,

can I ask who your surgeon was ? Also, are you satisfied with your weight

loss and how bad are the gas and bowel movements ? Do you diet or eat

pretty much what you want ? Do you feel too thin or are happy at where you

are at ? Thanks

I think I look pretty good.

I took my reply private so I could send her (presuming it's a her) pictures.

Anyone who wants to know, I'll have pics up on the web page here this week,

and have some now on the yahoo page for this group.

Hi Ford,

a couple of more questions, if you don't mind . You say you weigh 238- do

yo LOOK like you weigh less ? Like between 180 and 200? How many bm's a

day ? And finally, does your skin have a healthy " glow " , and do you have

a problem with your face being too thin- sunken cheeks or jowls ?

Thanks
