Its amazing!  97 pounds ago.  i was basically having problems WALKING!  it was terrible.  I have arthritus in my ankle and with all the weight i would walk with a limp and my ankle would always hurt.   Now, daily i do 30-45 minute walks with my friends!  My ankle is not hurting very much at all!   This weekend i also went out dancing!  it was a blast!  in about anything i do i have more energy than before!  This surgury was the best decision i have made in my life!     
im slowing down on weight loss..i used to be a 3 pounder a week person, now its around a pound a week.  i dont care..as long as i get there thats what matters.   Ive been waiting and waiting to get to my 100 pound loss mark...im almost there only 3 lbs to go!  i will post when i get there!
