I am now 6 months post and doing great. I've lost 130 lbs.and down from 30/32 to 18/20. My BMI was 71, now 48. I'm out of my wheelchair for good, off oxygen and C-PAP, and driving myself everywhere. Life is so much better.I would do this again in a heartbeat. I give God all the glory and my wonderful surgeon Dr. Goldman in Huntington, WV. I want to thank all my new friends from AMOS, especially Doris Mack, who has been there 24/7 since I started this process in Dec. 2001. Hope every post-op and everyone waiting, the best of luck with their surgeries.
