Recommended Posts

Just had my one year surgiversary on Friday. 124 pounds! I would like to lose about 5 pounds more and use those as my "bounce" Going to doctor on Wednesday for my one year check up and am going to ask him how to STOP losing weight now.

Working on building muscle and contemplating plastic surgery. So happy and blessed to have taken this journey and now it is perseverance to maintain good health and strong muscles!

Today was my one year surgeriversary!! Would do it again in a heartbeat! I've lost 80 pounds and went from a size 14/16 to a size 4. I feel so much better and healthier than I did a year ago. It's nice not to ache every day and to be able to be more active and keep up with my little one. I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!

October 24th was my 1 year surgiversary! Lost 92 pounds and feel fantastic! Went from barely squeezing into a size 18 to fitting into a size 1 with some wiggle room! I went to my 20 year high school reunion and it was amazing, I looked and felt better than I did in high school. I love my sleeve, and I LOVE the fact I have saved my life! Hope you all are doing just as fantastic!!!! :)

Hey guys.. Posting this but dont know if any of the Oct 2012'ers even come here these days! Wow...how were your holidays? i'm up about 8 lbs. :(. Plan on ordering unjury and getting back on track. Those sweet treats sure do go down easy. Ugh. Wish i was below 200 by now, but hope with dedication and not being complacent i will make it eventually.

All the best for a happy Healthy 2014!!

LDallas. Hang in there. I have my moments. I went on a seven day strict diet a couple of months ago to get myself back on track. I am at goal and sometimes I don't eat as I should but for the most part I am doing well. Best of luck in 2014.

Hey all. Havent been here in forever. But I've gotten some emails about other updates and figured I'd swing by.

I had my surgery 10/2/12. My starting weight was 322lbs, size 24 and 4x shirts. Bra size was 48F.

As of this morning I'm at 178 lbs, size 8/10 pants, shirts L-XL and thats due to chest which is 32E they didnt go very far.

My goal weight is 175, I'm 5'9". Im almost there. I've read and saw everyone seems to be doing great. Keep up the great work

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
