Well it's been a year of ups and downs. Mostly ups when it came to my weight loss. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to have this surgery. I never ever want to go back to the old me. My initial goal was to get to 145, I did get to it, but then I changed it to 135. I am at 142, and now want to get to 128. But I think my body likes this weight. I am ok with it and so is my Surgeon (I work with once a month). Thank you to everyone who posts on here, it really hoed me get through this journey. Here are a few before and after pictures.

You are doing great on your pre-op diet. You'll be down to 130 before you know it. I promise you will not regret doing this. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I was sleeved in July 23rd. I am down 76 pounds. I am 5'. My HW was 220. My CW is 144. I am trying to get down to 128. It's been slow going these last couple of months. I am wearing a size 8 or sometimes a 6. Never did I think I would be wearing such small sizes. In fact, yesterday I saw the cutest pair of capris I was looking for my size but they were all sold out. I was willing to get a 10, but they were too big. It was a great feeling telling hubby, they were all to big, they don't have my size. He keeps telling me I am his incredible shrinking Debbie. I am so glad I did this. It was the best decision I've ever made. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I was stuck for the longest time at 150 and dropped to 145, I am hoping with this nice weather I can get out more. Congrats on the new you! We will get to our goal. You said it. We are much better off. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Hi I am from a south suburb of Chicago. I had my surgery at the University of Chicago. My surgery was July 23, 2012. I am down 75 lbs. my starting weight was 220. I am now 145. I was stalled for over two months. I would love to get down to 128. I am losing very slow. Sent from my iPhone using VST
