Hi Everyone!  I had my surgery September 25th/13 and I am feeling great!  Down 37 lbs now, and doing very well in every way.  Started at 217 and now at 180.  Started a great exercise program, gym is at work so it makes it easy!  Can't wait to reach my goal! 135lbs 
Over the weekend I started throwing out clothes!  Felt so good to say goodbye to the fat clothes. 
If anyone has any questions about the procedure or after surgery, I would be happy to answer them for you.  I am in Canada, so especially for you Canadians looking at doing this surgery, please don't hesitate to contact me. 
Well on the way to absolute success!.........
