Hi I'm currently living in Las Vegas for school. I'm 23, and 7 months post op . It doesn't matter how long you have been post op, I'm looking to make friends who have had the surgery so we can hang out, support each other and get to goal!

Oh, here are my current stats!

Sleeved 3/4/13, starting weight 368.4, current weight 264.0

Impressive stats - keep up the good work.

And you must share your "connection" :-)

If anyone needs tips or wants pictures I would be happy to show my fellow Las Vegians lol I love to help support people through this journey' date=' Im almost nine months out down 97 pounds =)[/quote']

Fabulous job!!

Anyone start thinking about having plastic surgery here in town? I still have a while to go before I'm ready but I'm already doing research!!

I had a TT before with Dr Brown (desert hills plastic surgery). I loved her. She was upfront about everything. Even tried to talk me out of one procedure I questioned. If I ever do anything in the future it would definitely be with her again.

I have a connection in town which is the only reason I'm staying here. I'm going to need a full body lift. My goal us to lose half of my original weight' date=' 184 pounds. My first step will be my arms and my breasts. [/quote']hey Nikki how are you doing? Just wanted to hear how your goal is coining:)

Hey!! I'm doing well! My weight loss has slowed a bit, but I'm coming back from an injury so I'm not working out as hard. I definitely see better results when I eat clean (crazy how that works)!!

I weigh on Mondays and Thursdays... So as of Thursday in down 115 pounds. I want to lose a total of 184, which will put me at half my surgery weight. 69 pounds to go! My surgery was 3/4/13.

How are you doing???

How are you doing???[/quote'] Hey I'm having surgery on 12/23 and I'm totally excited. People like you inspire me so much. I like to loose 120 lbs I'm currently 261 and 140 would be my magic number. I weight it once before and hope to go there again. How are you dealing w excess skin which is my main concern. I'm 45 and thinking my skin is not just gonna bounce back like it did in my 30's.... Any tips??

I honestly don't have a whole lot of excess yet. My arms look awful in my opinion. They hang down and I can pinch the excess. I have a little in my thighs and stomach. I still have almost 70 pounds left to lose so I'm sure it'll be an issue later on.

Lotion is key. They also suggest you stay out of the sun.

I'm stoked you have a date! What an awesome Christmas present for you!! Who is your surgeon?

I have no problem posting my story if it will help others!! If you have an questions feel free to ask!!!

I live in Henderson, and Dr. Tom Umbach was my surgeon

Dr. Umbach was my surgeon as well... Did he give you a specific diet to follow??? I'm 3 weeks post op

I have not gotten any diet requirement. I'm 5 weeks pre op.

You should have gotten a packet of what is okay to eat with examples during each stage of the post op. Let me know and I can pull my stuff out.

Nikki you look nice!! If you dont mind me asking. How much have you lost
