First post in a very long time-I’m enjoying the Christmas season except for one thing. If I hear one more time I need “more meat on my bones” or that I need to put some weight on I’m going to lose it. Ironically, some of the comments come from overweight family members. I would never think to tell them they need to lose weight. 7 years out and I’m happy where I’m at!! Hope all goes well with your health concern.

Congrats on your surgery! HW = 360 SW = 292 GW = 220 reached 3/7/18 CW = 210 @ 6'5" 150 pounds lost! [emoji106]

My latest, it was my Christmas present. 2nd pic shows it in progress. Now my chest is balanced on both sides. For some reason I have a compulsion for things to be balanced. Must be related to my aspergers. [emoji848] HW = 360 SW = 292 GW = 220 reached 3/7/18 CW = 210 @ 6'5" 150 pounds lost! [emoji106]

@ms.sss Thank you and, go for it!

@JRTMom Been below doc's goal weight for a long time (I'd still be fat if I was only at the goal weight they set for me) but at my personal goal weight. I'm feeling good too! HW = 360 SW = 292 GW = 220 reached 3/7/18 CW = 210 @ 6'5" 150 pounds lost! [emoji106]

@frustr8 love the idea of your memorial. Maybe you can fund a spot that'll work!! Tomkitten will love it!

A little over 2 years out from VSG and 3 months from my FDL TT, at the doc's for my check up! Couldn't be happier with my results from both. HW = 360 SW = 292 GW = 220 reached 3/7/18 CW = 210 @ 6'5" 150 pounds lost! [emoji106]

Lol, i think you'll be fine. The recliner was great my body just got sick of it after the first week and a half. HW = 360 SW = 292 GW = 220 reached 3/7/18 CW = 210 @ 6'5" 150 pounds lost! [emoji106]

@mousecat88 I did have back pain/ soreness for several weeks. It was harder not to last flat for so long than it was not to stand up straight. It was 3-4 weeks before I could stay to stretch more at night and even then had pillows under my legs. HW = 360 SW = 292 GW = 220 reached 3/7/18 CW = 210 @ 6'5" 150 pounds lost! [emoji106]

@Brent701 It was around $8700 for the FDL TT. The recovery pain wise was about the same - minimal, I have a high pain tolerance - but way longer. You really can overdo it then it catches up to you with soreness, swelling and lots of fluid drainage. Definitely worth it though.

They were a little creepy and took getting used too lol HW = 360 SW = 292 GW = 220 reached 3/7/18 CW = 210 @ 6'5" 150 pounds lost! [emoji106]

You're welcome. Yes, that's everything from beginning to end. Pre-op to all post-op needs and appointments.
