  1. I know I have a LNG way to go but I am down to 220 from 343 now wearing a large/x-large from a snug 3x. I keep hearing that I look great but to get honest I don't see it. When I look in the mirror all I see is loose skin and saggy girls. To be honest it makes me disgusted and I am having difficulty adjusting to the new me. Has anyone else felt this way if so how did you deal with it?


  2. Last year I asked my husband to buy me a bike for my birthday, much to my surprise I forgot how to ride it. Fast forward to this year and while having a birthday celebration at my house I asked for lessons. I guess losing 105 pounds and building up some confidence has helped. I am off and riding! This surgery is an amazing tool!

  3. I woke up at 243 officially 100 lbs down from my highest weight when I started this journey at my first meeting with my surgeon at the end of November. 38 lost pre-op 62 since surgery. Tomorrow I am 5 months out. Also officially off my blood pressure meds. Best decision ever made!


  4. I also am a chronic Migraine sufferer. I am nearly 5 months post op and have noticed a decrease in my Migraines. My surgeon wants me to avoid Excedrin migraine as well although I have taken it twice. I also have had no luck with imitrex or maxalt, however my pcp gave me a prescription for fioricet which has helped. It is part barbituate, acetaminophen and caffeine. I am sure the caffeine is not ideal...but I am willing to take it because it is working. I had the same fears young into surgery but luckily things are working out with other options.
