Well it has been two years and here are the before and after of clothes. The bottom shorts were from two years ago size 26. The top pair I bought this weekend and they are size 6. I really hope that my mind catches up to my body someday. I still have a hard time believing that I have lost more wight than I weigh now. I still find it crazy????.

I did my first one today !!! It was great. Ran about 2/3 and walked the rest. Already planning my next one and working up to a 10K. Good luck to all trying to do this. There is a before and race day pic. What a difference a couple of years can make.

Here is waht loosing 170+ can look like. Good luck to all.

It is possible. I have lost 173 lbs. in a year and a half since my surgery. It fell off quickly at first and now has leveled off. I am more than thrilled with what I have done and the changes in my life. Doing my very first 5K this weekend. Never in a million years would I have ever thought I could do this but with this helper all things are possible. Keep a smile on and know you are worth it.

I am about 16 months post ops and have lost 154 lbs. since surgery and 172 lbs. total. I have been at my current weight for about a month now so I think it is my body saying I am happy now. I have lost about 25 lbs. more than what I thought I would be at so I am so not complaining. I hope that all who are starting this journey or are along the ways on this find the happiness that I have with this procedure. I know that there are hard parts of this but remember you are worth all the hard work that you put into this and it will be worth it in the long run. Good luck to each of you. You are worth it.

I had my with Castro and love him and his staff.

I hope you are as successful as I have been. If you need a friend along the way...keep me in mind....Good luck to you on your journey...You can do it...

I'm in Grand Prairie. I had my surgery just over a year ago with Dr. M. Castro. I have had a great time and am thankful each day for taking this step. Hope all are having a great journey too.

5'6" tall Started at 336. May 2011 Surgery was 320. Nov 2011 Size 26/28 and 3-4x shirts Today 5'6" tall. Lol. Weight: 167 Size 10 or 10 petite (bought Talbot pants today in petites) Size med-large tops. Still have a hard time believing that I could be that size even looking in the mirror. Pick out clothes and just know that they will not fit and holy cow they do. It is a great feeling to really think of your self looking good in clothes not like a large blob. Good luck all.

Im from Grand Prairie. I was sleeved one year ago today with Dr. Casto at Baylor dwntwn. Have had a wonderful sucess with my sleeve.

I am not real sure. Have not been a counter but would guess between 900-1100.

I have not had bad stalls. Increasing calories sometimes helped jump start when I had several days at the same weight. Also don't know if it is just me but having some caffeine seemed to help.

Good luck to you. You can do it!
