Hi everyone!

Hi, I have lost 169 lbs. and had both knees replaced with the left one having to be redone eight months later. Have moved to Austin Texas and am working full-time making great money. I decided on the move to start a new life since I am a new person. Am getting muscle tone. I LOVE THE NEW ME! I wish more people would have this surgery. A close friend of mine just passed away that I tried to get to go with me to the information meeting I went to at UTMB. He had gotten to 550 lbs. He said he liked his food to much. I did too but I could have ended up in the same spot as him. That's scary!

Glad to hear everything's going well at almost 2.5 years out.
