You look bangin'! Great dress, too!

Heya, fellow Albertan!

They are very hard to see, Vickie, I even showed my stomach to 2 bariatric surgeons and both of them had a hard time believing Dr. Aceves could pull out the stomach from such a small incision.

You look great!

Foxy!

Wow, very nice! Nice abs!

Was this for a race? What distance did you run?

Wow!

You have such a nice shape! You'll be a total pin-up once you're done losing!

Very nice!

Wow, very nice!

Good luck!

Thanks, guys!

OMG, your face is so similar to mine!

Thanks, guys. Lsereno, I think it's a bit of both. Favoredone, I've been working out for ages, so I had a good muscle mass before I got the sleeve. I used to lift weights a lot, and I boxed competitively for 2 years, so I got a good base from that. I've been doing Crossfit since Aug. '11, it's definitely the best workout ever - although it's not for beginners. But it's good to try once you get below BMI 30.

Very impressive!

i have enjoyed looking at pics of your journey! Your an inspiration to me.....only two weeks out today!

Thanks! Good luck to you!

Are you doing anything to make your scars lighter?

Sorry, did not see this until now - looks like we don't get notifications for album comments! No, I haven't been doing anything with my scars, they are just fading naturally.

Holy cow! You look amazing! Thanks for sharing your success! I assume you are going to celebrate by hitting the beaches in a bikini? :-)

Who you calling a cow? Hehe, just kidding. I just hit the beach 2 weeks ago, actually, albeit in a one-piece - too many waves for a bikini top to stay on! Thinking of going to Cuba this fall, maybe there?

Wow, blown away when i looked at this then your before op picture.

AMAZING. Well done. I must read up on how much excercise you do! Im sure i have seen yoou post about it before.

Thanks! Most of my muscle mass is from exercising fairly consistently for years before the VSG, so I only exercise 3-4 times a week now to keep things up. I make sure to lift weights, that's the most consistent component of my exercise routine, and then I do some sort of cardio. My current cardio is mostly from my twice-a-week dance classes and a bit of running to prep for an April 5K.

So who's who? I only know who you are!

Nice! You're rocking that miniskirt!

Wow, were you put under in that pic? I wish I had asked them to take pix of me at the hospital!

Holy crap! That's a major difference!

By the way, how do you put the pix up side-by-side? I wanna do that with my 2-month pix.

Hahaha, don't hate me because I'm beautiful and have a great sense of style. 8)
