I love seeing the progress people have made after surgery. So for those comfortable enough to share them I'd love to see your before and after (and even progress) pics. I haven't had surgery yet (and wont for at least another 3mths) so I don't have any to post but I still like seeing what I have to look forward to. The pic below is me at my highest of 316lbs 2hrs after my son was born.

1 year anniversary since surgery! I’ve had a few bumps in the road and am actually in the process of trying to gain a little weight (under my surgeons supervision of course) but I am still happy with my decision to have WLS and have no regrets! ❤️

Jami.1992. Amazing progress. If you don’t mind my asking. How tall are you and what procedure did you have? I’m also glad I’m not the only one having some bumps. I’m post op 5 months and down 48 from surgery, 75 from my highest.

Thank you!! I am 5 ft 7 in. I had the gastric bypass. ❤️ sounds like you are making excellent progress as well!

Jami.1992 - Did you have any reconstructive surgery?

I don't have an after picture to post at the moment, but I have a question for the rest of you that are in your during or after phases.

I have looked through the most recent 40 pages of this post and haven't really seen someone with my body type.

Is there anyone who feels comfortable enough to post a picture of a before and during or before and after with a split stomach?

I don't know how normal this is, but I have a pouch of fat above the belly button and a pouch of fat below the belly button, and it's what I consider to be my entire stomach. Makes measuring waist size for clothing difficult because of the belly button is technically where I'm sorry too make, but it's the smallest area and the pouch of fat above the belly button is actually bigger than the rest of the waist measurements, so the clothing wouldn't fit.

Thanks!

Not yet....probably going to wait another year to make sure my weight levels off then start looking into it ?

This is me the morning prior to my plastic surgery. I definitely had a bulge both above and below my belly button. It’s all flat now post tummy tuck.

Just took this after PS in a swimsuit photo this afternoon. As you can see both upper and lower belly bulges are gone :)

I had my surgery almost 5 years ago. The "before" picture was taken about 6 weeks before surgery.

The "after" was taken about 5 days ago.
