I am finding this site very encouraging but I am finding it difficult to think in pounds rather than kilograms.I will need to get my calculator out!
I keep on daydreaming about my weight loss but I haven't factored in that I won't look the same as I did at 21.I can't imagine what I will look like.
I had VSG last month. Read about my WLS Journey in:

I am your age, and I highly recommed the surgery. I had no issues with complications, and was back at work in less than a week. Not quite a month post-op now and Im down 18 kilos or almost 40 lbs or 2-1/3 stone. LMAO.
Good luck and stay in touch.
