Before & After pics - 4 months out...



Recommended Posts

I promised myself that I would work up the confidence to post a before and after pic comparison at some point - so here goes :-)

I started at a peak weight of 265 before the surgery -- as of now, down to 192 -- 73 lbs so far... Had my sleeve done in May at Overlook Med Center in Summit -- My surgeon was Glenn Forrester from NJ Bariatric in Springfield and they have been really great.

The May pics were taken the first day post-surgery - hope this helps out some new or potential sleevers get inspired... I havent regretted my decision once...it has made a tremendous positive impact in my life.

I am getting sleeved on 10/16 with Dr. Forrester at Overlook hospital and very happy to see someone who had surgery with him! Congrats to you, now I feel better. Still a little nervous, but very excited!

Congrats on your pending surgery!!! Dr. Forrester is incredibly caring, and a really top notch doc. I'm actually finishing up a nursing degree and I tend to be very picky about MD's -- he completely impressed me, and so did his office.

Overlook's bariatric unit is great too -- you will be in good hands with the nurses there... they really made me as comfortable as possible, and kept checking on me post-surgery. Keep us all posted on your surgery!!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
