I am a single mom with two kids at home. My kids, even the one who lives with her dad have been my biggest supporters. From attending preop appointments and driving me 5 hours round trip for surgery. As well as helping with shopping and chores and looking after the 15 year old. Especially my 15 year old daughter who is my biggest cheerleader. I couldn't have done this without them all. It's rewarding to see them so proud of me. I am down 95 lbs and into a size 8. Loving life again!

That's great news. Hope all goes well. Take care

The left side is sept 2013 at about 250 lbs. Right side is June 2014 at about 165lbs. Huge difference in the neck. I now have an actual chin again.

Yes. "Lightweights" lose slower as they have less to lose. I am also a slow loser. But better a slow loser than not a loser.

I agree. Don't get too high of expectations. Before surgery I saw those 3-5 lbs a week stats and was so excited. I however am a slow loser as I don't have a lot to lose. 6 months post op I am down 50 lbs. But I am happy with that. Still losing super slowly now. But it is still coming off.

Time for update pics. First one is Aug 2013. Highest weight of 250lbs. Second one is today 165lbs. 85lbs gone. 25lbs to goal weight. Happy with my success so far.

Different doctors have different protocols. Varies with your weight, bmi, general health etc.

I take 1 prenatal Vitamin and 1 Calcium supplement a day. My labs results are all normal. I wouldn't be able to handle taking a bunch of pills a day.

Other then being morbidly obese I had no other health problems. My father however is also morbidly obese and I am honestly surprised he is still with us. He has had double heart bypass. He needed a quadruple bypass but they couldn't find enough good veins to use because he is so large. He also has diabetes and many other weight related health problems. I could see myself going down his path and I wasn't going to have it. I am post op 4 months. Down 80 lbs. I am one pound away from dropping into the overweight category. So happy. Want to lose 30 more pounds. And yes. I love the attention. People complimenting me telling me how great I look. Started wearing makeup again and buying cute clothes. It's hard to feel beautiful when you feel like a whale.

It would however be an excellent opportunity for them to follow a complete story. Like help her with plastics and show how healthy she is now. I am starting to get the saggy skin and I will keep it covered. But I would rather have saggy skin and a healthy body than what I had before.

I was leaning toward the sleeve and decided for bypass also because of gerd. Don't regret any of it.

I six months post op and my Hair loss is finally back to normal. I had super thick hair before and now it is just right. I'm hoping it doesn't grow back all the hair. Lol

Yea for you! Sounds like you are determined. So sounds like you have great supportive partner. Maybe we could clone him? Lol
