Made the goal · 09-16-07, 04:34 PM

I am a 9 year veteran of WLS. I began my journey 8/24/1998. I was 351 pounds with a BMI of 57. It took 14 months to reach goal, 135. I would be willing to help anyone needing help deciding. I do know they don't tell you everything that can happen. Being in my tenth year, I know the answers others don't.

I have had lots of complications, post op and even now. I wish I could say I maintained my goal BUT I have trouble keeping weight on.

I have LOST 2/3's of my body weight, 234 pounds, and weigh 117. With a BMI of 19.5.
