Surgery date July 13th, 2016 Gastric Sleeve with Dr. Mostaedi at Richmond Kaiser
Heaviest weight January 2016 290lbs
Surgery weight July 13th 2016 242.2lbs
Current weight today November 30th 2016 170.1lbs
I'm almost 27yrs old, 5'6 inches.
Started at a size 22-24
Currently in a size 8/M
My shoe size went back down from an 11 to a 10 which is very exciting for me!

I have some loose skin on my tummy, and under my arms, my butt and thighs are also kinda saggy, but I'm working on those now with some kettlebell workouts.
      
       

Im so happy that I was able to get off my insulin! I still have like 25 lbs to go but I am not rushing! When you get closer to your goal, it is slower to lose it! To all of you, you are awesome and continue being beautiful inside and out!

Down 111 pounds total. Original goal was 125, but am happy where I'm at, and have some extra skin I need taken care of.
So much happier and healthier thanks to my sleeve!

My mom sent me these two pictures today--one she took at the hospital the morning of surgery, and one she took today to send to my aunt (who has also lost a great deal of weight). I can't believe how big of a difference it is at 3.5 months out! When I look in the mirror I feel like I look exactly the same as I did so it's nice to have progress pictures like this. I wish I had pictures like this of my highest weight lol.

Also wearing an outfit of jeans and a sweatshirt I bought in 2013 that never actually fit haha. Still a bit poochy in these jeans but they slipped on no problem

Approaching 10 weeks out from VSG. It's been the best decision I've made. I feel mentally and physically fitter. I've experienced NSV such as cloths, airline seat belts and comments[emoji6]
I'm eating fine and living life!
I'm about 40% of the way losing 60lbs. The piccy is before surgery and 9 weeks

Sleeved 4/20/16 down 122 and counting!

Hello! I was sleeved May 23/16 in Tijuana with Dr. Pompa. It was the best decision of my life! I'm (almost) 6 months post - op and down 50lbs. Would like to lose another 25-30lbs. I feel like the life I've wanted to live for years is finally within my reach!
Lovin life!

Before picture was 1 month before I began the journey. October pic was 1 month ago. Surgery was RNY on Aug 8, 2016. I'm down 72 pounds from my highest weight of 355.

I had gastric bypass in March 2015 in Juarez, Mexico. My surgeon was Dr. Rodriguez with BeLiteWeight. I lost almost 140 pounds. My weight goes up and down a few pounds but I also eat pretty much what ever I want. I went from a size 24 to a size 2. I have loose skin and want plastic surgery. I've been to one plastic surgeon and my quote was 32,000 to fix everything I wanna try to fix. I'm still a work in progress and every day can be a struggle. I have yet to start a exercise plan but started my 1st job 7 months ago. Now I'm off the couch and out of the house every day.

I had Sleeve surgery on 5/2/16. Best decision ever. Down 68 pounds. I feel great!

Here is my before and after picture. I had gastric sleeve surgery May 4, 2016 and the picture on the left is from April 17, 2016, I weighed 310. The right is Oct. 20, 2016 and my weight is 208. I've lost a total of 102 pounds in just under 6 months! Even though I went into this with the goal of being successful, I never dreamed I could have been this successful! This journey had taught me so much about myself, that I am courageous and strong, that I can do things that I once thought were impossible. Last summer I went to Yosemite National Park with my family, and sat on a bench while they hiked around, I even cried because I felt so pathetic! This past summer we went to Smokey Mountain National Park, and not only did I hike but I hiked up some pretty steep paths!! So many things have become better having dropped 100 pounds. I am so happy I made the decision to have the sleeve, it truly is the best thing I have ever done for myself!!

I know the editing out is ridiculous on this but I wanted to remove all identifying things in case anyone recognized me... hard when your before and after shots are in your bedroom haha. Sorry for the editing and the undies.
July 16th (2 weeks pre-op) to today (9 weeks post-op)
I think I was about 285 in the pre-op picture, hovering between 243-245 for the past few days. I don't see the progress on myself until I put it side by side like this.

Not the best of pics but here we go...

May 26th, 2016 285lbs (night before surgery)
