Thank you mzub and aquaqueen.

Its strange to see other topics of people losing less, I figured my accomplishment warranted more of a response. Maybe 220 pounds isn't enough to get peoples attention on this site.

I did inspire someone else though for a friend request, so there is hope.

Nah, that isn't it at all. It's a Sunday morning and not a good time to post a success story. Activity here is quite time sensitive I've noticed.

And 220 lbs is a whomping accomplishment! You deserve a pat on the back for getting your weight under control. Congratulations up the wazoo for all you've done.

Edited to say: Sorry, I see you first posted this earlier in the week. Well, I don't know what happened but find that sometimes when lots of things get posted at once, some just slip to the bottom of the list. Not many people search second and third pages. I'm glad you "bumped" it back to the top.

oohmercyme · September 2012

Congrats on all your hard work- keep it up!

17ChargerGirl17 · September 2012

Congrats on your loss and on your objectives.
I'd guess people have some reserves about surgery, I know I do. If you'd posted a different title you'd get a different response.
The surgery does not define you, it's what you do with yourself that is your success story! Thumbs up!
