No, I haven't. I do have a lot of loose skin, but I manage with shapewear. Maybe someday!

Thanks everyone!

I know some people here have enjoyed seeing my progress, so I wanted to do another update. I recently had my 1 year surgery anniversary from my gastric bypass. I have also reached goal and am no longer losing weight, so I figured now was a good time! I am so happy I had my bypass. I am running, hiking, and doing all the physical things that I was limited in before. I eat well and don't feel any loss or limitation emotionally. I have added carbs back in now that I am at goal, and have maintained well (even lost a little) over the past 5 months since hitting goal and going off keto. I had my 1 year follow up with my doctor, and he congratulated me for losing 100% excess weight and for doing it in less than a year! High weight: 292 Surgery weight: 247 Goal: 150 Current: 147 Height: 5'6"

Thanks everyone! By way of update, I am now down to 159, and my surgeon's goal for me was 160. So that's awesome! I am in a size 6 pant, and size medium top and dress. It's just surreal!

I have had a lot of hair loss. I am not balding, but I had a lot of hair to begin with. I have lost about 50% of my hair volume, and was very worried for a while. But while I started losing hair at 4.5 months, it stopped falling out rapidly by 6 months. Now it seems like just normal hair loss, and I am not freaked out.

Thanks! I do have a lot of loose skin. I wear shapwear unless in athletic clothes.

Thanks everyone! I hit 120lbs lost last week. Just 25lbs more to go. I think I want to get down to 145 now that it seems possible. Current weight: 170lbs

Wow, thanks everyone! Not at goal yet, but on my way. Here's my most recent photo at 113lbs lost. I have 30 more pounds to lose to reach my goal, and just 20 to reach my surgeon's goal.

I still can't believe I'm at this point. It feels like a dream! High Weight: 292 (1/31/2017) Surgery Weight: 247 (Gastric bypass on 5/1/17) Current Weight: 191.2 Goal Weight: 140-150

I had gastric bypass on 5/1/2017

I made it to onederland at 198 lbs yesterday, and finally weigh less than my husband! 94 lbs lost total since my high weight. HW 292 2/1/2017 SW 248 5/1/2017 RNY CW 198 7/28/2017

It depends on the office. While insurance qualification was a long process for me, the process with my surgeon has been pretty quick. A couple weeks to get an consultation, and then a date scheduled for surgery a couple weeks after that.

I would go to a different surgeon.
