Ok, I am 2 months and 2 days post-op and about 6 months out from my initial consultation with my doctor. I am down just over 90 lbs, 50 pre-op and now 40+ post op (in 2 months). I just looked back at pics from my sister-in-law's wedding and can't believe how big I was at the time. I was somewhere around 315-318 at the time in this wedding pic and am now down to the mid 220's with about 40-45 lbs to go to goal.

I know others' pre and post-op pics were big inspirations to me so I want to share my transformation as potential motivation for others. But, the biggest inspiration is the little one and my wife in the last two pics. Don't mind the cheesy OBX gear we are wearing in the second pic, we were intentionally doing the "tourist" thing the day we left....lol

It was not a rambling mess ! Thank you for taking the time to fully inform us, I appreciate it so much. I am awaiting my turn. I had originally signed on for the lap band and was approved. After reading all the post, i have changed my mind . I am going for the sleeve.....thanks to people like you who are willing to safe,Im sure I have been spared much trouble and grief.

You're awesome!

Awesome! Its amazing how much younger ppl look after they lose weight! You took years off your age as well

You look 10 years younger! That is absolutely amazing. I went to see the surgeon absolutely positive that I wanted gastric banding until I watched a video about all the surgeries. I left KNOWING I was going to do the Sleeve. I am in the middle of my insurance process and have waves of elation and waves of fear all at the same time. I only have about 80-90 to lose but I can only imagine how great I will feel when I get there.

Thank you so much for sharing.

Great job, fantastic results. I am really motivated now:)

Thank you so much for sharing, Your look fantastic, so motivating to see how well your doing.

I have my sleeve op on 20th October, I excited and scared at the same time which is weird. I start my pre-op diet next saturday, eeekk LOL

I have a long way to go, currently at 360lbs need to get down to 154lb I have a battle on my hands but am soo ready for it.

I'm so glad I found this site, answered so many questions without me having to ask them LOL

Take care

Mary :-)
