Hi Tracy,
A lady at my husband's work had gastric bypass and she lost weight so quickly. I looked into it but decided that surgery wasn't right for me. I did recently read a blog from someone who had the surgery 2 years ago. She lost 111 pounds by the 6 month mark. I will hit 6 months on Atkins on the 25th of this month. I've lost 94 lbs so far and hope to be at the 100 lb mark by my 6 month mark. And I didn't have to spend any time away from work or family due to a surgical procedure.

One reason my results might be a little misleading is that I started with 200 lbs to lose and the girl in the blog only had 140 to lose. But I still think that Atkins is the better way since I am learning to make food choices now that will lead me into maintenance where I will stay at or close to my ideal weight for life. At least that's the plan.

I hope you stick with Atkins long enough to see what it can do for you. Good luck!
