As of today I am down 115 lbs since my highest weight ( 255 lbs) and 95 lbs. since my day of surgery (235 lbs) at 5'7'' that has be losing 38% of my body! more than 1/3 of my has disappeared! I went from a size 16/18 to a 4/6 ( the tiniest I have every been as an adult). I was told when I did this that it was unlikely to work as well since I had been on insuling and medication for my diabetes for soo long, but even my doctor has been blown away by my results. I still don't recognize myself in the mirror sometimes, but I am adjusting to thin girl problems; such as, being cold all the time, needing extra padding to define my breast which have gone through a deflation, needing to shop in the talls because normal people aren't my size and height apparently and shirts/ pants are too short, oh and being boney means pain when on hard surfaces.
I have been insulin free since day five after surgery and my A1C at 6 months out was 6.0 down from a 8.9 at two weeks prior to surgery. I am taking absolutely nothing for my blood sugars and they are between 85-120! This surgery has given me back my life. I went in with being told I'd be losing 20-30 years due to my insulin needs, and came out with such better prospects.
With it has come a lot of other new things. I got a new boyfriend the january prior to surgery and 4 days ago he proposed in disneyland! We've been slowing integrating our lives ( we both have children with prior partners) and he has made such amazing strides with my daughter and with understanding my weightloss journey. I am excited to try on dresses! I was engaged once before, and I refused to try on anything besides A-lines and everything was awful( I was a size 20-22 in a wedding dress then). Tomorrow will be my first trial, I'll get sized, and try silhouettes, its so exciting now that I am not worried about them having my size or the whole world seeing my big butt and flub because dresses only come in tiny sizes. Its like the last year has been building my confidence specifically for this moment, where I am look at myself and see what everyone else does. The picture with the red shirt is from our first date (248 lbs) and the one with Minnie mouse is from this Monday minnie is showcasing the ring.

Its incredible how fast time passes, yesterday was my 3 months surgiversary and I couldn’t be happier.
The results im seeing amaze me, every day i’m more and more in love with my surgery, i became a new person, i’m happier, been going out a lot more, i can walk all I want and don’t get tired, i’m still working on some things like my laziness (the couch calls my name and i can’t resist it) luckily i lost my love for fries and chicken nuggets but i do miss diet coke
So far i lost almost 34 kg which I couldn’t have done without surgery.
Surgery was magical for me and the only thing I regret about this is that I didn’t do it sooner.
I’ll leave you some pics of my highest weight compared to what I look today and some stats.

Sooooooo who just came from her first Dr visit... and was told she lost 15 lbs!!!! THIS GIRL RIGHT HERE SURGERY WAS NOVEMBER 10TH!!! DON'T EVEN FEEL LIKE I HAD SURGERY

Hello my name is Melissa. I'm new to the forum. I was just approved through Molina for a case manager and i have my first phone meeting with her on Friday. Tomorrow i will go to the informational meeting. In not sure if i expected to be approved so when i find out today i am really excited and really nervous. I've been reading posts from people on this site so I've gathered a lot of insight. And i believe this forum is going to be a life saver for me. I have supportive friends but they don't really understand what I'm going through.

I see many people discuss food relationships in post-sugery forums. While I'm scared, I know I did the right thing by taking a year in a binge eating treatment program to give me the tools & skils to be successful long-term. I will promote this every chance I get. I did not want to go thru surgery only to rebound. My program taught me how to regard food as other than a reward system or addiction. I do still need the surgery to lose the weight & control my diabetes. The program taught me to maintain and follow a plan. We all should have this training before surgery to better influence success. I will share so much more.

I'm HEADED HOME,I COULD HAVE LEFT YESTERDAY, BUT I TOLD THE DR.. MY 6 KIDS WOULD BEE WAITING FOR ME... HE TOLD HIS STAFF "NO NO SHE'LLBE STAYING,IT DOESN'T EVEN FEEL LIKE I HAD SURGERY.NICE STAFF, EVERYONE WAS SOOOOOO PLEASANT

On April 5 this year I had my rny. A year ago I was told that I was looking at losing 20-30 years of my life because of my insulin need and weight gain. I wasn’t even 30 yet. Now I’m 10 lbs from goal and scared to loss that much because I am just so happy were I am now. I went from a size 18 to a size 4/6 on bottom and a 2-3x on top to a small. I’ve never been this tiny and looking in the mirror is hard some days because I don’t know who I see. But overall I am so much happier. I’ve been off insulin since less than a week after surgery. My asthma is better. And generally my moods have been so much more stable. I am learning to deal with emotions and not eat them (I’ve tried and the physical pain isn’t worth it). And now I am just trying to see how to do these last few pounds till goal without freaking out! Workouts are in my future but for maintenance and maybe I’ll build some muscles . But being so small feels weird. I don’t know what to do with that feeling yet but at least I know it’s there! Anyone else struggle with this?

From 289.7LBS to 138LBS, 15 months post-surgery!   

@ kplumlee1205 we have similar stats, my surgery date was March 20, 2017 Hw:240, Sw: 232, CW 153..

I struggle sometimes when I look in the mirror and especially in pics BUT I'm thankful... I have Lupus and since surgery I'm down from 10 pills a day to 2 pills a day! My goal now is to maintain and tighten up
