Looks like I made it!!
Check it out! I guess I made it to my goal. Started out at 388, unbelieveble!! Now done to 158, actually I have been down to 152, but weight seems to flex with travel. My BMI is a 24!! All the way from a 58. That is 230 pounds down! From a size 5X to a 8! (even a 6 at times)
I am so pleased. Of course, I give all the credit to God. He works wonders through Dr. B and Dr. Walton. I have truly been blessed through this whole experience. Through the years, I have made so many "bargins" with God about my weight and weight loss. "If I could just lose the weight....." I have to give God the credit, cause I said I would be a testimony. I am!!
This journey has not been easy, and I do not know if I am comfortable where I am totally, but I am grateful!! I also feel like I could now do this for the rest of my life, and understand that I will need too! I exercise at least five times per week, and basically stay on the plan. The last 18 months have been incredible!! I have lost only a few pounds the last three months, and have had some ups and downs on the scale. I am learning to work through that, listening to my body and maintaining. I know that I need support, I will always have a weight problem, but I have overcome it!! I am living life and loving it! I also need to update my picture, but cant seem to get it to let me. Just take my word for it....I am there!

48lbs lost PRE-OP - LBL on 3/24/2011 -- 11lbs of skin removed! 
Congrats to you! 
Congrads Tony. How tall are you by the way. I'm 5' 61/2" and am 170# currently. I'm looking to lose around another 25#. I started at 281# had surgery 10/13/2003 in San Deigo, CA, I got down to 153# then since Jan. went up to 175.5 # due to hand to mouth disease (with food) and illness. When did you have your surgery and how is maintenance going?
