Congrats on this new chapter in your life. you deserve all the best. Happy Thanksgiving!

Surgery went well and overall I feel good just sore. Its difficult getting up and down but it's getting a little easier each time. I have no idea what I look like yet...doctor will remove bandages Monday. I'm pretty swollen from all of the Fluid. I have two drains and I'll be glad to get those out!

Congratulations jgirl! Wishing you a speedy recovery and awesome results!

I had all the same as you are going for 3 weeks ago. I want to put up pictures but I cannot figure out how to blur out my nipples lol
Anyway, a heating pad was my salvation for my back. I took the pain pills as I was told, but also took something to help to not bind me. Drink plenty if Water and just relax. You will be soooooo happy. Good luck!!

Best of luck! You will be so pleased I am sure!!!! Can't wait to hear your amazing results story.

I am almost ten months out from my surgery now. The first pic here is me a year ago compared to now. I still have 14 more pounds to goal. Went from about 240 to 154 currently.

Hey butter I got a delivery today but it had your name on it???
Did you order a new top???

Day 16 post op.....had my follow up visit with the doc today. Everything is going well. He took out the last drain thankfully. They are pleased with how little swelling I have...so am I. It's gonna be at least 5 more weeks before I can get back to exercise....and sitting around is no doubt the hardest part. But it's all so worth it. Finally I can see the results from all the hard work I've done. It's amazing the difference in my self image...looking in the mirror and actually seeing abdominal muscles for the first time in my life is priceless.

You look great! Glad you are feeling good.

Welcome!

Amazing!

Wow you look great!!

Looking good OTR!

So today is my one year surgiversary!! When I began this journey in the spring of 2012 I weighed 240 lbs and felt disgusted by myself. I can honestly say this surgery is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I am current at 150 lbs. my goal is to get to 140...

Thanks for the update! I weigh 243lbs. right now. So it is kinda neat to see where you started, is where I am now. I am 5'3" inches tall. This pic was taken at my doctors office. I took my cardigan off to get a true look of what I looked like.
I can't wait to hit 150lbs.!!! Thanks again for your help!
