Hello Fellow MN OH'ers!

I am now five months post-op and a feel fantastic! I wanted to thank everyone on the Minnesota forum and the MG Coffee support group for your friendship, help and support!

Today, I was able to put on a suit that I had bought from Marshall Fields in 2002 (just after I lost some weight on a supervised Atkins plan) and I have not been able to wear this suit in six years (the weight I had lost came back quickly and then some)! I have been working out almost every day, mostly on my own but also with a personal trainer (Chad Johnson from Lifetime Fitness in Maple Grove, Minnesota). I have also been taking spinning classes at Lifetime Fitness and also the YMCA in Seattle.

Alan you look fantastic. And you must be so proud of yourself.
Sounds like you're really getting into the exercise. I swear that's what helped me drop so fast and steady.
CONGRATULATIONS!!

Thanks Sandy. You have been an inspiration to all of us, and I am really glad we have gotten to share our mutual experiences together. I'll bet your family is very happy for you as my family is for me!

Take Care Friend!

You have been a fabulous addition to our little family, and it's been awesome watching you shrink!

But I have to ask.... did you INTENTIONALLY scowl in the "before" picture for dramatic effect, or is the 180 in your facial expression 100% genuine? 'cuz that's every bit as amazing as your physical transformation!

See ya Saturday!!!

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
