Great job MJ!
You will like the results of the bypass.
I have an aunt who had it done 4 years ago. She had been very large for as long as I can remember, basically since the 70's. She ranged from 300-350 lbs and she is only about 5'1". She had it done and I saw her about a year later. And I truly didn't recognize her. She came and said 'hi' to me and I didn't know who she was. It was mildly embarrassing, but she looked amazing. She is now about 110 lbs.
We are all rooting for you!
Plus you gotta love the flintstone vitamins! mmm like candy. I could munch on them all day (probably not a good idea), my wife takes them, I steal a couple from her when I think of it.
