On the day of surgery, November 9, 2007, I weighed 328 with a BMI of about 46. I am now down to 205 with a BMI of 28.6. From morbidly obese to simply overweight. I had RNY gastric bypass. As of today, October 9, 2008, I am down 123 pounds and 17 points in my BMI. I went from a 52-54 inch pant size to currently 36-38. From a 3XL shirt to an L. From a 56R suit jacket to a 44R. Bariatric surgery has changed my life and is one of the best decisions I ever made. I encourage anyone considering the surgery to do it if you are an appropriate candidate. The risks and drawbacks are few and the benefits have been overwhelming.
