Are you 6'3" with the build of William "The Refrigerator" Perry though? At my thinnest I weighed 195lbs and I looked horrible, like starving victim horrible. I'm just a big guy that's never going to be "skinny", sadly. I'm shooting for around 210lbs which would be a total weight loss of almost 260lbs. The first 70 was pretty easy, let's hope the rest goes as quick.
I suppose after the flu issues last year you aren't too anxious to get surgery, but the stomach restriction thing has worked some wonders for folks I know. There's risk (Charlie Weis had some tought times when he was with the Pats after his surgery), but when it works, it works wonders.
