Thumbs up The beginning of a new era!

Just wanted to share with all that I had my first post-op visit and I've lost 20 lbs! I'm now under 300 for the first time in several years, and despite being a little tired, I feel great.

I'm so happy just knowing that I will never weigh more than 300 lbs again - there's no way that I'm going to allow myself to misuse this tool! Life is so good - this is going to be an amazing experience!

Smile congrats!

20 pounds! That is so wonderful! I am still pre-op, so I really love hearing from those of you who are still in the early stages after the surgery. How are you feeling? Does coughing still suck? I want every detail of your progress.

Thanks for the inspiration! I am sincerely happy for you
