Wow, you look great! Boobs do make your waist look very tiny and waspy! That skirt is so cute I love it, as is the whole outfit, really works! BF is going to be blown away for suuuure

Hope the flights and transfers are easy for you @sillykitty Enjoy being home again!!

Look at you curvy girl!!! Love that outfit, the red belt is awesome!! 😍

Wow, what a lot you had done in the end, funny haha about the gum comment, "oh yeah chuck in the TT too" haha but sounds like it is all working out really well and you are recovering beautifully! Keep getting better and keep us updated! Your hospital food looks heaps better than poor @sillykitty was served but still not super tasty or fresh healthy nom noms!

Dang.... you're super skinny @FluffyChix The top and pants look good, a lovely statement necklace or scarf maybe? I personally not so sure about the cape, it seems very big on you.

Ahhhhmazzzing! You look wonderful, and glad to hear you are happy with yourself now and finally almost done, I guess it has been a pretty long journey to get here!

I wanna see photos too! So glad you are feeling a bit brighter now, and you are recovering really well, it is very good to see! Keep on the up and up!!

Good luck @ms.sss Sending good vibes for easy surgery and speedy recovery!

I absolutely love that dress! gorgeous pointsettia print, very much my style... although a size 8 wouldn't fit me hahahaha - yet (still not had surgery) but I might have to do a @GreenTealael and raid your closet when I'm at goal!! hee hee Teneriffe is a great place to live, I adore those old warehouse convertion apartments, so much to do in the inner riverside suburbs of Bris, I miss it heaps and the river.. and jumping on a CityCat going to GOMA or Riverside but hubster is happier out here *sigh* Thanks for the recommendation, I will try to make an appointment and see how we go, but as I am starting a new job in Jan I can't take the needed time off till mid year next year unfort.

Congratulations, good idea to be practicing and making changes where you can to give yourself the best opportunity to suceed and I am sure those 3+ months will fly by

Soooo... I have moved states quite unexpectedly 4 weeks ago, I was headhunted for a job in my home city - so after much tooing and froing decided to take the job near home. Which means I either need to find a new surgeon in my home city, or go with the team I saw (who I really liked) but have to stay interstate for a week or two post surgery and then do follow ups etc flying into that city. The surgeons here charge about $5k more than I have been quoted (guess there is more competition in the other city) and I don't know any or have any recommendations here. It's a bit of a dilemma. Anyone have a surgeon in Brisbane, Australia that they would recommend?

Hey, I don't think you did say before, that is cool that you lived in Brisbane for a while, those are great areas, we lived in West End and then Bulimba which was great fun, but we bought a place a bit further out in the Bayside area, nice and peaceful here, with lovely bay breezes to cool the place off, but I still miss being that close to the city and commuting to work via the CityCat ferries was Ah-maz-ing, compared to Sydney where I lived most of my life, Brisbane is a great city, very much under rated imho, we have several friends who have moved here in the last few years. I hope you do get to come back one day, if so let us know we can have a BP meet up haha... I have always wanted to go to Canada, maybe one day! @Arabesque which surgeon did you use? would you recommend them? I had my prelim stuff done in Sydney as I was living and working in NSW up until 3 weeks ago, and was planning on staying there, but stuff happens LOL and I have a new job starting Jan here in Bris so need to find a new surgeon to get things happening, or decide to stay with my Sydney guy.. hmmm. Sorry probably should have PM'd you, don't want to hijack the best thread on the board!!! Keep posting the wonderful inspiration peeps!!!

Perfect look for you Angie, love love love that leopard print skirt, black tight top and long black boots, really winning combo. Oh... and you are looking really slim now!!!! Thank you so much for posting your pics during your journey it really does help for those of us waiting to get the surgery! Wowsers!!! Hey fellow QLD resident (Brizzy here) Arabesque, you look amazing!!! Congratulations girl

Congrats! Happy to hear your surgery went well!

I had to look that up, never heard of it before lol Looks very delish, except the clam juice (highly allergic to clams).

Gosh, what a total rollercoaster, you poor thing! The Dr I saw who referred me couldn't be more supportive, she is quite young and totally across all the latest knowledge of metabolic syndrome and various other things making "natural" weight loss very hard, she told me that a number of her patients had WLS with very good results. I would be gutted if she suddenly did a 180 and said now I don't support it, don't do it etc. In your case it sounds like her "boss" has been the one to influence her against it, possibly for her own reasons unknown to you.

Looking very good @Dtrain84 I love your sense of style and how confidently you own it!

Congrats! Great work, you look amazing!!

Congrats @sillykitty sounds like the surgery went really well, very happy for you and wishing you a super speedy recovery from here!! Can't wait to see your posts in the OOTD thread again haha!

So glad to hear you are having a better day today! Woohoo Well let's hope it is the new meds, and fingies crossed it keeps on improving! Sheez girl, 35kg in 3 months is amazing, you deffo want to be able to enjoy that

Wowsers babe, I am sure it does suck the life out of the universe, but sounds like your medical team are onto it, so stay strong! Awesome re the weight loss, and aren't you clever to be able to alter your own clothes!! haha.. not something I would attempt having zero talent with sewing lol, but great idea and you will get to it when you can. Right now you need to get well and stay positive I wonder if the surgery triggered this or if it was going to come on now anyway?

Fingers crossed it can get resolved for you soon, it must be awful feeling like that constantly. Do keep us informed 🤗

Wishing you a smooooth surgery and quick, relatively painless recovery

I can't answer your questions... but just wanted to say I am sad you are having this, after all the other complications you had I hoped for you it would be a nice easy journey from there. Sending you positive vibes and hoping you can resolve these issues soon.

You look smokin hot in that little black dress!! No doubt your hubby was just having a distracted (by how smokin hot you look)moment saying that. hubba hubba...Amazed you actually made it out the door... or was your BF not there to see this wonder!! hehe... I too can see the outline of the inserts if really looking for them... agree maybe a darker or thicker fabric! Everyone looks amazing, love seeing all the cool clothes and how everyone is enjoying this so much. I am so loving watching those still on the weight loss journey like @AngieBear shrinking before our eyes... you are so correct in what you wrote, it would help with the body dismorphia we all suffer from for sure, I intent to post even close to the start when I finally get the surgery as I do think it will help a lot with the process of mind set alteration!
