No longer "Morbidly obese"!!
When I did my BMI measurement this morning after my weigh in, it told me that I was no longer "morbidly obese", merely obese.... after being SO overweight when I started this process, it feels incredible to just be "obese"... although I don't even feel that way any more....  Yes, I'm shedding tears, but... very happy ones! I'm actually seeing myself as the smaller person that my husband and my co-workers tell me I am, even my doctor says I don't look the weight that I'm at... Is it skin? 
I saw my PCP yesterday, the one who wrote the letter 19 months ago that over turned the 2 time denial from my insurance company to have the surgery, he hadn't seen me since I'd lost 80 pounds, he retired and moved to Hawaii, he's working here for a few months, now. I'm minus 208 pounds, he cut another of my meds in half ! Soon, I won't be taking any!!!! That's my ultimate goal!! He also said that the oxymeter reading of my feet was at 100%, the diabetes I had since I was 27 years old, over 30 years, hasn't left any neuropathy, due to the extreme weight loss!!! 
Thank you God and Dr. Callery... AGAIN!!!!!
