95 lbs down

Well... I didn't lose much natural tissue.. however, volume will stay.. they're fake. Woohoo! Hahha

It was laprocscopic and only a partial

Mine fell out like crazy! I was scared I'd be bald.. luckily I have enough hair for 5 people.....literally! But mine finally started slowing down and I can see baby hairs coming through. I'm 8.5 months out and it has happened for the last several months

I started at about 250lbs give or take and 5ft7. I didn't wear jeans as I couldn't stomach the thought of buying 18-20 ' s or bigger. I couldn't get 15 ' s up over my mid thighs. I was wearing 2x+ in shirts. Now, 8.5 months later here I am.. fitting comfortably in size 5 jeans.. and large shirts (could go down a size in shirts but a bit top heavy). It doesn't seem real! I am 90 lbs down, too! What I've noticed besides my scale obsession, smaller jeans, etc.. my energy is through the roof, my back doesn't hurt nearly as often and the looks! I've noticed when I walk by people stop and stare. Literally. It makes me uncomfortable but then I remind myself it's not because I'm so big! It's a good thing. I guess. Haha! But on a side note.. I finally went and got my belly button pierced. Whoa! That was SO nerve wracking let me tell you! What are some crazy things have you experienced?!

Noooo.. sleeve recovery was way less painful. At least for me. I had my hysterectomy Nov 2014 and then sleeve in April 2015.

I'm about 8.5 months out and still don't feel like I'm any different. I can see it in the clothing sizes and even pics..but looking at myself in the mirror I dont. I went from a size 18+ down to a 5 (so far).

I don't have that ins... but basically that was my only co-morbidity.. some insurances won't approve with that (according to many people here).. but my surgeon said it's all in the wording. For instance "pre-diabetic" looks different than "elevated blood sugars". I had zero issues aside from that and being morbidly obese. The surgeons know what will/will not work and they usually won't waste their time if they know you won't qualify

@@lovingdavid I haven't done anything other than walking a lot

Down 75lbs in just over 5 months! Would like it to be more but I will take it gladly!!

Okay okay.. I've been slacking here friends! I used to post regularly and have been slipping. Sorry! Anyway, I just wanted to update everyone on my progress so far. I am just a little over 5 months out from surgery. I feel amazing. Hungry alll the time though haha. It goes away easily and I am steadily losing still. As of this morning I am 75 lbs down from my highest presurgery weight. I couldn't see it when looking in the mirror. I still see that fat girl looking at me. My husband has been getting tons of compliments about me from coworkers. It's so strange!! Anyway.. here are some pics for you all. A little motivation. Stay strong!! 5 ft 7 and down 75lbs

5 ft 7 started at 248lbs -75 lbs since April 13 2015. Still want to drop another 20-30lbs. I can see it by the way the clothes fit, and by looking at the back pictures. It's been a journey but definitely b worth it!!

Yes!! No matter what I ate it came back up. Water was literally the only thing I could consume. Turns out the bottom part of my stomach formed crazy amount of scar tissue. The dr had to open the stomach up and put botox in. I woke up and had zero problems since.

I have tons of hair.... super thick. Go to the hair salon to get it thinned.. so I'm not hurting just yet.. but if it doesn't slow down I may be in trouble soon. I can clean my brush out, then brush my hair half way and then need to clean it out again. It's insane.

I say unavoidable like a bad thing.. I mean it is more like if it is going to happen there's nothing we could have done to prevent it.
