yay!!

They ended up doing an endoscopy and dilating my esophagus a little, I feel so much better and have been able to eat without discomfort

hey guys!!!!

i miss you all.

im here to update you.

im now 141lbs. i started at 273lbs.

my lowest was 139 but i bounce between 139 & 141. AND GUESS WHAT???

on march 22nd, im having plastic surgery!!

im so excited but so nervous.

i used to be a EE in bras but since being sleeved, i am now about a D cup. you can imagine how they look.. i have granny boobies & im only 24!

so, im having a breast lift with augmentation and im having a fat transfer to my butt. wish me luck & pray for me! i will be back to update you guys.

i love yous!!!

hey guys!

ive been gone for a while but i wanted to update you with my numbers and BIG NEWS!!!!

a lot of you guys probably remember me and for those of you who dont, you can go to the complications section of this forum & read my thread "i definitely regret surgery" or something to that effect.

i started at 273lbs.

i am now 141lbs but my lowest was 139lbs. i kinda bounce between the 2 numbers.

on march 22nd, i am having plastic surgery!!! i am breaking the bank to get this done but i feel its much needed & cant deal with looking as i do now.

before surgery, i was probably a size EE in bras but squeezed in DDD bras. i am now probably like a D. you cant imagine how much skin and wrinkles my boobies have. im 24 with grandma boobies. so, im getting a breast lift with implants & im getting a fat transfer to my butt. a fat transfer for those of you who dont know, is when they Lipo your mid section front and back & transfer the fat into your butt. this will leave my tummy very wrinkled which means after i pay off this $9,000 debt that im jumping into, i will have to then pay for a Tummy Tuck. i found a plastic surgeon who i love and trust & he doesnt accept my insurance so im paying out of pocket. im having this procedure done in westchester, ny.

please pray for me! xo

<3

i am soooooo sorry to hear & i pray that u get better. plz keep us posted

You have me feeling so much better right now, you sounded exactly like I do now. I was recently told that I have a stricture, it's excruciating to eat and I want to feel normal again. It's hit me so bad that I've sunk into a depression, I very rarely get out of bed and I'm in a funk because I don't feel normal. I'm glad you're doing better.

i cant believe that today marks a yearsince i changed my life. wow!

i walked in that hospital as one person & rolled out in a wheel chair as another!

i went thru hell & back to get where i am but i am so glad that i made it!

i started at 273lbs. im now 142lbs!

thank you for all the love & support everyone!

Congratulations on such a huge weight loss....I hit my one year a few weeks ago; made goal at 11 months. Went back to my hospital for my one year check up and passed with flying colors...it feels great. I've posted a lot of before and after photos on my weekly blog and it's incredible how much denial I was in before surgery. It's been a magical year!

aw <3

Same as ^^^. And honestly, if it wasn't for her I don't know how I would have mentally gotten through it!!! I had my stent removed and told the leak had healed in August. Nowadays, i feel phenomenal and can eat ANYthing!!!! Just in limited portions, maybe about 3/4-1cup depending on what I'm eating and how fast

i was diagnosed with a leak at 5wks. it was hell. they placed a stent in me that made me so sick that i couldve died.

after the stent was removed, i was normal again!

once u start eating solids, you will be ok. i had the same problem until i ate solids. trust me.

i had a leak and couldve died because of it but thank god, im alive & will be 11months post op in 2days. im down 127lbs.

I am 4 wks out from surgery unable take protien in any form getting very little fluids in i cannot eat anything without wanting to vomit. I had complcations from internal bleeding & kidney failure due to blood loss. I wish i had never had it done i am sick of being sick. Please those of you considering surgery to look very carefully at all poss.complcations. i am very disgusted with my results i have no strength, stamina, nothing & i will not till i can take in protien which is impossible. Good luck if you decide to go through with it

aw thank you! & congrats! i pray all goes well for you <3

Jasleeve I know the initial road was very rough for you but you're doing so well! Continue the great work! I'll be sleeved on November 19 and you really have been my inspiration....so, thank you!
