Hello, It has been a wonderful year. I have lost 150lbs. I have gone from a size 30-28 to a size 14. I'm still having problems with meat, fruit and some vegetables. But I don't regret having the surgery, and would do it over again. I have alot of hanging skin on my arms and thighs. I work out about 4 times a week, but the skin is not going back in place. It's so nice to walk up to people and they not know who you are. I will be going on vacation in two weeks, and I'm very excited about it. I have shopped for so many new clothes. Well, I will keep you posted on me later.
