Gastric Bypass.

On April 13, 2010 I had gastric bypass surgery. I topped the scales at 420 lbs. Just before my surgery I weighed 410 lbs. It has now been 9 1/2 months since then and I've lost about 155 lbs. I'm down to 255 lbs. My goal is 250 lbs. I think I'll make it. I have started mountain biking, running, Krav Maga, hiking, and backpacking. I am sooo glad I did this. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

 Here is a photo (above) of me at 420 lbs. back in 2006.

 Here I am in 2009 on our summer trip to AZ.

Here I am in November 2010. This is 7 months after the surgey at 270 lbs.

Here is a phot of me from today at 255 lbs.
