Thanks everyone.. Yes yes yes.. I had a TON of hairloss. I was lucky I had very thick hair. I lost alot between months 3-10... by the handful. I always got in all my Protein.. Vitamins.. Water.. Biotin. It's either gonna fall out or it isnt. Since I had such drastic weightloss I wasn't that fortunate.. BUT no one could tell but me

I haven't had plastics... I have a saggy belly. Very saggy but with the right pose and pants no one can tell much

You do of course look phenomenal. Have u ever been this small? I ask because your face looks completely different and Im wondering how my face will look because I've never been small/thin. I'm hope my question makes sense.

Wow, your progress is incredible! Well done

It's really inspiring.

I understand all your positives. Have you had any downsides? And how are your hunger levels now?

Finally I decided after years of dieting enough was enough.... I had the gastric sleeve 02/26/2013.BEST DECISION I MADE.

It's now been a year and here are my stats. 32 years old and 5-7'.I was 353 and now I'm 183lbs. Went from a bmi of 55.5 to 28.7. I wore a size 26 pants and now I'm in 10/12.

Over the last year I have stayed active. For the first 6 months I was VERY strict.on what I ate. Now I'm more lenient. I eat every 3 hours making Protein #1. That isn't hard for me bc I'm a hard core carnivore. As far as exercise I life weights 2xs a week at home.. 2 10 lb weights.. I walk 3 miles 4xs a week also. I've never busted my ass at the gym and do what works for me!!

[shelly513 138]

No downsides at a that I can think of. Hunger is different now... I usually get hungry when I know its n timr to eat and kits not an over powering intense hunger like preop.
