21 Month Photo Update

  • Popular Post

Well, I hate to say it but I might be *mostly* at goal. I've been the same weight for about the last 6 months now and while I'm not at my personal goal, I am extremely happy with where I've landed.

I'm definitely NOT giving up but I wouldn't be sad if I was to stay at this weight forever. That being said, I decided to go ahead and post my photos over in the BEFORE/AFTER photo thread on the General Sleeve Discussion board.

I figured I might as well share them here also. I was 21 months post-op on July 22, 2012. I'm 5'6" tall and weigh about -100lbs less than when I started this journey. Thank you sleeve!

    You are a whole new person, so pretty & I would never guess by looking at the "after" photos that you were ever 100 lbs heavier. Congrats on such a dramatic transformation. I bet you feel so muc

Thank you all for your kind words. I know the before/after photos really helped me when I was contemplating having the VSG. I had a wonderful full and happy life before surgery and now everything is just THAT much better because I don't have to lug around an extra 100lbs!!! My 10 year old daughter climbed into my lap the other day and she is probably about 75-80lbs and I thought I would die from the extra pressure and weight and I started thinking "how in the world did I carry around an extra PERSON all the time?"

So yeah, looking good is a extra bonus but feeling good is what really counts!!

Can you share any advice about your journey....

If you click on my profile you will find a link to my blog...I started it about a month before surgery and have kept it going ever since...

You look amazing! Are you a patient of Dr. Snyders? You look familiar from the last seminar, maybe?

You look amazing! How often do you work out? If you don't mind me asking how much skin access do you have? I'm so excited, I am 18 days out and lost 28.2 pounds. Exciting times ahead and woman like you inspire. Thanks for sharing!

You look great! Congrats on your success!

You were gorgeous before your weight loss....but you are a shining star now...you've done great with your sleeve!!! Cute outfits too!!!

Wow - you look great. And you look so happy... Congratulations and thanks for sharing - its such an inspiration. Looking forward to joining you on the other side! (my surgery is scheduled for this Monday).
