Sleeved in 2012 but having bypass 11/21 due to GERD and hiatal hernia hw 364 pw 354 lw 206 mw 216.

BRAND NEW PHOTO... 130LBS DOWN.
BEFORE 322
AFTER 192 as of today.

35 years young and single 😀😀😀

I started off at 315 pounds in October of 2017. I list 35 pounds in almost two years on my own before surgery. In August 2019, I had gastric sleeve surgery and have lost another 90 pounds so that I am down a total of 125 pounds. I only have the two headshots but can’t get over the difference. (I used to avoid getting my picture taken). I lost a second chin and discovered my clavicle. I have gone from a 3X to a L in clothes.
My only regret is that I didn’t have the surgery sooner. The second picture is from my 6th month follow up and I was at 205 at the time. I am averaging about 5 pounds a month weight loss.

First before and after photo!

I am 4 months out (SD 1/21/20) and am about 85 down from my highest weight known (from when I decided to make a change - rarely weighted myself before that).

I still have a long journey ahead, but looking back makes me realize the progress I’ve already made, which can be hard to see in the day to day.

Happy to report that I'm up 3.5lbs since my 6/3 request for help. The slider foods have been a life saver, literally! I have more energy and a generally positive outlook already!

Thank you all so very much!

This is a picture taken about a month before my surgery

have a good day all

It's my birthday today!😊
Here's a before and after pic. I put this outfit together as I'm heading out for my birthday dinner.

This happened to my mom. She was basically starving to death. Her sleeve was too small. Her surgeon had to go in several times to put a balloon in her sleeve and blow it up a bit to stretch it. It was would for a few weeks and then the same problems would arise. So she went to a different surgeon and he had to give her a bypass. She had now gained back and maintained a healthy weight.

Happy birthday to you!!

you can switch and have your info and completed stuff transferred. insurance will have to resubmit if you're at that stage. I was going through the process and flying to Texas to have my surgery cuz michigan wouldn't reopen. but the day of my final consult my original doctor in michigan called and gave me a date..I already was insurance approved and just waiting. so yes it is possible to switch. it delays a little but if somewhere else is caught up amd scheduling it's worth the phone call and tell them your position.

I'm in Florida too. Jacksonville. I have Florida state insurance aetna. They didn't require much from me. I hope you get a surgery date soon!

Congratulations 🎉

I got a call from my office yesterday and they scheduled my surgery for the 14th of July. So very excited. Its close!

yes its going to be a long week for you! It'll go by fast though. Just like this whole process!

I dont. I've been camera shy the past few years because of the weight gain. So I dont have an insta. But yes. That stuff really rewlly works. Its funny because my boyfriend thinks I have powers because everything I want i usually get. When I put my mind to it. Lol. Maybe we will be July surgery buddies!

You will! I put it out in the universe that I would be approved. I kept imagining it. It worked. I know you've been doing the same. You will hear some good news today.

I just called aetna and I've been approved! I was so worried I wouldn't be! But I was. Surgery date is July 20th!!
