Hello everyone! What a journey this has been. I am doing great. At my 9 month checkup I had lost nearly all my excess body fat. By 10 months I was below my ideal body weight by 5 lbs. My doctor said after losing 100% of my excess I am his most successful patient to date. I feel great and every day is a gift in this new life I have. I weigh 116 lbs and wear a size 3 to 4. My only problem now is finding clothes small enough but that is ok with me!!!! Just for all considering this surgery....I would do it again in a heartbeat. I love the new me and life is now my most precious gift, and I gave that gift to me!!
