I sometimes walk by mirrors and have to do a double take!!

I have had friends not recognize me if they haven't seen me in a while!

I am filled with gratitude for Dr Aceves and his staff....

Six short months and I am down 160 lbs!

No complications!

I have not reached my goal yet but I am confident I will do so!

My life is so much better now... I wish I had not waited so long!!

That's amazing!! It's so good to hear from people who aren't too long out of surgery and doing so well. :)

Thank you all! There is no secret!! This is the first time in my life I am relaxed around food because no longer can I over eat.... Food is just food.... Energy.... While I can enjoy flavors.... My focus is different... My tastes are different.....no more worry over planning to stick with my diet and be good only to find something that tastes so good I just don't want to stop....I can not over eat... I am so grateful for Dr Aceves... My life has changed..... I welcome my baggy skin!!!

Trying on clothes is great!!

Tasting food at parties is enough.... I get full on the costco samples!!

No more knee pain !!

No more shortness of breath!!

These results are for everyone with the courage to step into the light of Vertical Sleeve!!

Great job Moonrisen! You are a shining example of a successful sleever. I have no doubt you will reach your goal. I'm sure having such a great surgeon didn't hurt either :wub:

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
