Before and Now pics of weight loss
Most of you know about my bariatric surgery last December at Christmas time. Since then I've lost 140lbs. in 4 months. Dr. says everything is going great. Now soon to be a single man I'm starting to feel like a "new man" literally. Now when I go out dancing and to the bars I got ZZ Top's Sharp Dressed Man playing in my head So as requested from some board members here is my before and as of now. I had a friend take it over at their house. The before pic was day of surgery (Dec. 22' 03). You can see the difference easier since I'm wearing the same shirt.

Brandon, that is simply awesome. I imagine that you feel a lot better also. I wish you the best of luck; it looks like you are definitely succeeding at meeting your goals.
I had Lasik about 3 years ago, and the difference it made to my self esteem was immeasureable. I can only imagine how you feel.

Excellent. You must be proud... How much did you weigh before, and what is your target weight, if you dont mind me asking of course?

I weighed 510 and they said I should get to 250-260. Everyone said that I carried my weight well. Hell I didn't even realize I was a big as I was until I see myself now and then.

Looking good B! I can't imagine how good you feel. Losing all that weight and basically starting a new single life, that's got to be exciting for you!

That's amazing. The change is "huge" isn't it I bet now you look forward to weigh in rather than dread it. Keep up the good work...

Doin' real good Brandon, keep it up.
To go from 510 to 260 is crazy! When you finally get down to 260 I bet you are going to feel great (probably the best you've ever felt). Continue to keep us posted and keep taking pictures. It will be cool to see a timeline of the weight loss. I am glad to hear everything is going well and your healthy, you’re a good guy and deserve it.
