Update

I reached my dr set goal weight of 135 lbs but my body decided I was better off at 120 lbs.  Never been this small (size 3/4 pants) and find it somewhat ironic that I now have the same problem I had at the other end of the scale: finding clothes to fit when you live in a small town! I'm not complaining ;-)  
I'm healthy and and happy and skinny. Much better than being unhealthy and unhappy and hating myself. The decision to have the surgery was the best thing I ever did for myself.
