i have lost over 100 lbs and now i am recovering from a Tummy Tuck, muscle repair,lipo, that i had done 14 days ago by dr Manual Bello and all is going great..I have been on a rapid ride.

i weighed in at 195 when i got here my heaveyest was 308 i have a muscler build and i went from a size 44 to 32 and when my swelling goes down i may be a 30..i was buying medium shirts in the mall yesterday, that was pretty cool.

in 7 monthes i will have lost more than my goal weight and had my excess skin removed after 20 years of being obese/overweight feeling like all things / programs that i have tried so hard that i was never going to lose my weight and in just 7 monthes all my dreams have been answered...i will post my pictures up when i get home..i stayed in Alamater hospital an xtra 10 days just to speed my recovery and be able to relax and not have all the pressures that comes with being at home..

I wish everybody the best of luck

thank you

Hey Dano -

We were in the van with you the day you had your TT -- Ruthi rode in with you from SD and Bob and I were picked up by Ernesto in Calexico. Remember? You and I were in Recovery together?? So glad to hear things are going well for you ... you'll love this site - we're all wonderful (and modest too!!) ... can't wait to see the "new" you.

Congrats!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
