    You can DEFINITELY see the loss in your face. Wow. I'm sure you feel tons better already. I'm curious, did you have to lose weight before the procedure (to qualify I mean)? I assume the 58 pounds is post-procedure loss.

    You have to show "some" weight loss on your own documented by a physician for approx 5 months. Then they put you on a strictly liquid diet 2 weeks prior to the procedure to shrink the size of your liver to make it easier for the surgeon to move it out of the way to get to your stomache. Technically, I am about 44 lbs post op from surgery and 58 from my heaviest when I joined MFP :smile:
