I feel 30 years younger. The only issue is to not get underweight.

Wow, Riverrat! Even with gastric bypass surgery that's very impressive.

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome Riverrat-

Congratulation on your weight loss, you look great!

I had a coworker do the gastric bypass and the result was almost shock to see the difference. He was in his early thirties and pushing 340. I'll guess he was at 180 @6'1" after the procedure. He was probably 30 when he had it done. Typically, young people are encouraged to exercise it off.

That's great. Congratulations! You beat my loss by 20 lbs. I didn't go the surgical route, but whatever gets you there & works on a permanent basis is the right route.

Win, the way you did it takes a tremendous amount of willpower, very few people have it, me included.
