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.

18 months out. 422 lbs to 216 lbs.

My life was in turmoil, then I met a surgeon that saved my life!

November 2021

What a difference!!

I love seeing all the before and afters! I am a little over one year out, I have lost 96 pounds (and counting). Close to my goal!

You all look so Amazing with your new looks!

The first photo was taken on September 29, 2021. The second photo was taken on December 7, 2021 about 5 months post op with a 20lb weight loss. I can’t believe I’m down 2 pant sizes already. Apparently my doctor prescribing a binder he didn’t know it has a dual purpose. One it’s for medical reasons and two it’s better then using a belt to hold your pants up.

Never thought I would see this number. 195 is the top number for “healthy bmi” so I am almost there. That was my goal…. But I think I can go lower than 195 because I still have pockets of body fat to loose. I hit this number 9 months post surgery.

Highest weight: 330 pounds

surgery weight: 297 pounds

Goal weight: adjusted… was 195 but maybe 180? i don’t know. We will see.

height reference: I’m six feet two inches tall. So super tall for a woman. ?

I have not been this weight since junior high school. (7th/8th grade)

HW: 210 +

CW: 124

GW: 112

I havent reached my goal weight yet but losing weight now has got tougher. So I ve structured my eating more and started cardio. The before picture is unreal, I didnt see myself like that at the time. Anyway, I am grateful for this place and the support I received from everyone

One year after. 150 down.
