MALE VOICE: Mine was 467 pounds. The day of my surgery I was at 447 pounds. I’m not down to 244 pounds. Uhm, probably - - life change. I’ll tell you. My social life improved. The conversation with conversation with the females go a lot further now than they did. I guess the combination of, you know, my confidence level and possibly me being maybe a little bit more attractive to speak with; I don’t know.

FEMALE VOICE 4: I did go to a wedding this last week-end and my father and step-mother didn’t recognize me. So, that make an impact to me. They walked right by me and were calling my name and I said, “I’m right here.” [giggles] So that was—that really made it official to me.

FEMALE VOICE 5: I’m totally out of pain. I can walk; walk very fast and I feel good. I’m much more active.

FEMALE VOICE 6: I’m a new person and this is a new beginning for me and I’m moving forward and I’m looking forward to see what life has to offer.
