Hi Joanne, Congrats on the 6 month post op. I too cant believe we are here I lost about 77 pounds myself and feel great too! I too cant see it in the mirror either but, hear it all the time, went camping with my sisters and they were looking all over for me and I was standing right in front of them. We all had a good laugh about it. Have my 6 month check up tomorrow and are looking forward to my bloods sometimes worry too much about this. Well lots of luck to you and will talk soon.
