I had almost no butt when I was fat, and now my butt is so flat I look like Hank Hill from behind. Boobs have shrunken a bit with weight loss but are still quite large. I think the reality is you retain your overall shape, but smaller. surgery isn't gonna magically give me an ass where there wasn't one, but it's not gonna turn my G cups into A cups either. (Saggy D cups on the other hand are a definite possibility...)

Hello all I'm new to this and was trying to not talk about it because of the judgement I may receive from friends and family, so I decided to reach out to a diverse community.
I'm about 5'6 230 pounds and decided to speak with my doctor about the gastric sleeve. Since having a hysterectomy I have not been able to lose weight. I now have HBP, pre diabetic, arthritis in my back and joint pain. I wear my weight well many say however the sickness and meds says otherwise. Any tips for those who have less than 100 pounds to lose ?
For many years I've tried to lose weight and will succeed but it comes back with vengeance. I've done meds that lead to anxiety in my life and depression. This is definitely not a cosmetic decision but a change of life decision. I must be an example for my babies...

I was thinking the exact same thing @@QueenOfTheTamazons, those other threads are huge. They really should be restricted to the current year to keep the content current.
My before picture is me at my biggest. I don't remember exactly how much it was, but I know it was over 330:

And this is from a few months ago:

It's too damn cold in the gym to wear a tank top nowadays! I'll have to take a few new ones in the spring.

Was sleeved Dec 6th, I am amazed I have lost 50 lbs so far. I am finally appreciating my choice to have surgery. First pic was pre op flipping the bird lol and other pic was taken 2 days ago.

Starting over for me is hard. I was sleeved in late 2014 (age 44). I have lost 67 pounds as of 1/17/2017 that have stayed off. I need to lose 57 more pounds to be at my goal weight. I had a lot of things going on. I left me behind.
I want to be healthy. For me that equals, working out, planning and recording meals and with no more excuses. This is hard. I am going to get it done. My last start over. I will get my goal as my health is vital. I am open to any suggestions positive . This is truly humbling.

So proud of you! I'm going to be doing my first 5k April 8th with my 13 year old daughter. (Who's recovering from ankle surgery ) We may be last, but we're doing it!
