I don’t take many pics of myself but over lost 118 pounds in a year. The first pic is a week or so after surgery and the second is a few weeks ago. It’s changed my life.

I’ve taken maybe 3 pictures of me and my son over his lifetime-he’s 13 : (
I’m looking forward to having more than 3 for the next 13 years

First is one year face to face. Second is my heaviest vs my lowest weight.

Hopefully losing my double chin and seeing my collarbones again. Also very excited for the range of motion and energy i will get back.

Still a struggle healing, but the results are remarkable. 7 months yesterday; gastric bypass in Tijuana, Mexico. Started out size 24 at 279 lbs, now wear a size 12 weighting 181 lbs.

Seeing my vagina so when I'm shaving I don't shave my nails. I've done that so many times. It's not so bad when I have acrylics on but man does it hurt when I don't have them done.

I had gastric bypass w/ gallbladder removal and hiatus hernia repair on June 19th, 2017. I will be traveling the next two weeks and won’t be able to post pics so I didn’t then today.
Surgery weight 276
Current weight 149

The moment I was able to get out of the hospital bed I started walking and literally haven’t stopped. I was able to start running about 3 months after surgery. I have gone more than 2 days without being active. I run about 30 miles a week and do Orangetheory. I took 6 pills a day for my reflux (had been on them since 8 years old), blood pressure and cholesterol medicine. I walked out of Tampa General and haven’t had to take one single pill. My blood pressure is very normal, resting HR is that of a runner and my cholesterol went from 320 to 149 in 4 months.
This was the absolute best thing I’ve ever done. I’m so thankful for this surgery.
Now I just need to save up money for lower body lift. The doctor said I have at least 10 pounds of skin to be removed!

I am three months (and some change) out from VSG (very super great) surgery and and down 75 pounds from when I started my pre-op nutrition counseling (55 since surgery on 7/23/18). I have had no complications and absolutely love saving money and anxiety and fretting over whether or not my dinner will be “enough.” I can’t believe how many decisions I let food make for me. I loved you, binge eating, but thank u, next! Here’s the progress so far!

I had gastric bypass 1 yr ago. i was 232lbs now down to 135lbs

Dang, I just found out that due to an issue with the OR, my surgery is being pushed back a week. I was already well into my liquid diet phase 😩 Oh well, still on its way, I just have to wait a little longer. My new surgery date is Nov. 13th. On the plus side, my insurance already approved my VSG, and I only needed to pay $300 for the whole thing. So I'm definitely feeling relieved.

Today’s the day! On the way to the hospital. Praying all goes well. This board has been a safe haven for me leading up to this day. Best wishes to you all.

Hello! I’m scheduled for RNY on November 12th. Beyond excited for this journey!!
