So I was really active on Bariatric Pal as a pre op and immediately following.
But now I'm 10 months out and I figured it was time for an update.
My HW: 257
Surgery Weight: 235
Current Weight: 155
Goal: 135-145
I hit the 100 pound loss mark at around 6 months and I've maintained it since. This has been a terrible long stall but I workout a lot and I think my body is really happy at 155 even though I would like to lose at least 10 more.
Since my surgery I've gone rock climbing. I went from a 27 minute mile to a 7:30. I am currently training for a half marathon on September 11th! Which is 15 days before my ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF MY SURGERY!!
So that is a HUGE goal that I want to accomplish. If I could lose the 10 pounds by then that would be cool to but I'm not going to go crazy over it.
I moved from Minnesota to Montana. I started a pre med program. I want to be a bariatric surgeon one day
I do have a restriction problem. A couple months ago they had to stretch the opening of my stomach a little bit because it was so small that food was getting painfully stuck. But I was told that I could have to have the procedure done a few times because scar tissue doesn't like to stretch. I can tell I'm due for it again because eating with a bra on hurts and I can feel food get backed up after a few bites.
I'm extremely happy with my choice and my new life. My skin is doing amazing. I won't need skin surgery. I've lost over a foot and a half around my waist. 18 inches from around my hips, 10 from around each thigh, and went from bra size 42DDD to a 34B or C.
I was a 3x in tops, 24 in pants.
I am now a small on top and 3/4 in pants. It's pretty crazy how different my life is in just 9 months.
Best decision I've ever made. I hope everyone else is doing well! I've missed you all!!!

@MrBroussard....wow! keep working it and keep us posted.

5 months out and I've lost 75 lbs. this surgery saved my life my heart is at 45% and before the surgery it was only working 40% not only am I losing the weight but my heart is improving as well. I am extremely blessed and only because of my Heavenly Father. Merry Christmas everyone.

Anything you put your all into is possible. I was sleeved at 342 lbs exactly a year and a week ago. My Dr's goal for 18-months out was 197. I'm currently 191. Getting sleeved was the best thing I ever did!!

I just took some new pictures, and I have to add to this thread! I started at 225 lbs a little over 5 months ago. I was sleeved on August 12. I've lost 64 lbs so far and weigh 161 lbs! I have a little more than 15 lbs to go before I reach my goal.
Before surgery:
 
5 Months Post-Op and 64 lbs down. Under 16 lbs to goal :wink1:
 

I thought we could start thread for progress pictures. Please upload and share your successes!
Pre-Op and Two Months Post-Op

I'm down 140 lbs, been sitting at 165 for almost a year. I can't seem to lose the last 15 to reach my goal of 150. My two year surgiversary is in February. Any one battle this problem? I've tried calorie restrictions, the 5 day pouch test, liquids diet. I just can't get down! So frustrating! I am happy to how far I've come and most days I still feel 300.i just don't know if this is where my body is most comfortable.
 

Well here is the night before surgery and 12 weeks out. Down 59 from day of surgery and 74 from highest weight a few weeks before. 70 more to go!!!!

Few days shy of 6 months

Down 46 since July. Best decision I ever made! 28th

Me seven months out

Everyone looks great! This thread has always been a huge inspiration, and I love adding to it.
I was sleeved 12/29/14
Before: 342 lbs size 22+ (stopped buying pants when 22 stopped fitting me)
Current: 216 lbs size 12
I want to lose another 46-66 lbs.

Going thru some old photos from last fall to the picture on the right which was y'day. Can't wait for these last 30lbs to come off!

Dang it sorry for the multiple posts but I forgot the most important one the one with my doctor Dr A. Ortiz

Super happy with my choices and my progress ????????
