That's great news Andy, and I feel that this is one of the areas that I have more experience than most of the other brothers haha. I just passed the one year post-op mark and I'll just let the numbers speak for themselves:
Starting weight: 365
Current weight: 190
Starting waist size: 44-46
Current waist size: 33-34
Starting shirt size: 3XL
Current shirt size: L
You won't even be able to recognize yourself in old pictures! Im proud of you bro, and of the tough, lifelong decision that you've made. It's a bummer about the smoking, but you'll be back to it in no time. I was smoking one cigar a week about 3 months post-op. Way to go bro!
