Is anyone on here post op 4 years or more? Just checking to see how everything is and if there has been any weight gain. It gets so much harder the further out you are. I lost 175 lbs but in the past year gained about 15 lbs back from my lowest. It is extremely hard to lose weight now and I feel like I eat like a normal person again. And I feel like I'm hungry all the time. This is making me nervous. I try eating healthy and exercising but doesn't seem to be helping.

Thank you everyone!!

Thank you!!

Thanks! It was the sleeve!

I was going through pictures and I just had to share these before and after pictures. Beginning weight: 318 Current weight: 145

Thank you everybody for your support! I go to the gym 3-4 times a week. I do about an hour of cardio and 20 mins of machines. The cardio is the most important part of losing the lbs, especially from the mid section! It helps with stress a TON, also!

Friday 8/22 was my official 18 month surgiversary. I still cannot believe it's been that long already! Feels like just yesterday I had the procedure. I was sleeved February 22, 2013. My starting weight was 318 and I was wearing a size 24 and 3X. I can proudly say I now weigh 148 lbs and fit into size 6/8 and am wearing all smalls! What a journey it has been! I have worked extremely hard to come this far and I would do it over and over again. I strongly believe in exercise!! I dedicate myself to the gym at least 3 times a week! My BMI went from 52 to now 23.5. I am now, hopefully, anticipating my abdominoplasty surgery in the next month or 2!

Well, I was sleeved February of 2013 and have lost half of my body weight since! 152 lbs to be exact. Now I'm faced with the loose saggy skin on my stomach! I've worked so hard to lose the weight and now I have this issue. It's not like I haven't been working out because since day 1 I have committed myself to the gym! Guess there's nothing you can do about the skin. I was wondering if anyone (I live in NJ) has gotten skin surgery covered under insurance? I actually have a different insurance company sines the surgery. I have QualCare. If anyone knows anything I would greatly appreciate it!!

Thanks everyone! Very much appreciated! It slowed down a little but around 8 months but just by switching up your diet and intensifying your workouts at the gym you should still be able to lose 2-3 lbs a week!

I really wanted to do a 1 year update but got really distracted. I am 13 months out of surgery and have lost 150 lbs! Went from a size 24 to a size 10. I feel absolutely amazing and have all this energy. I am truly a new person! If I had to do it all over again I would time and time again! People are amazed that I am the same person. Here are a couple pics!

What's your name?

Anyone live in central or south NJ??

Thanks! I feel great. Yes I so workout and that's how I keep losing the weight. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week!

Im so excited to finally say I'm finally in Onederland!! It may be 199 but that's good enough for me!! I had VSG done February 22 and started out at 318 and now am 199! Have lost 119 lbs and still going!
