I had surgery almost 12 weeks ago, and am down 74lbs. I am very happy with the way things are going so far. I do not get sick, have any kind of dumping, and can eat pretty much anything I try with no nausea. I am right on target to lose 100 lbs in 6 months, maybe even sooner. I would like to send out a prayer for everyone having surgery this week, those who are recovering, and to those of you waiting for approval.... Hang in there, It will happen, and when it does, it is TOTALLY worth it.
