I knew what to expect when I signed up for this, but I am still floored by the results I am seeing. My pharmacist commented on being able to see my neck for the first time, and my partner saw me in a dress I have had for awhile but commented on how good it looked on me today

It is just crazy that this is actually happening! I still lie in bed some nights wondering of it will ever happen for me and all of a sudden it hits me...I AM doing it already!!

Fantastic! I know the feeling of will it happen. I'm still feeling it. My husband is spooked by my weight loss. It makes him wonder if its too fast. I don't get coments from anyone but him so I feel like its not working. I know my day will come..

I'm with you! I was angry before surgery about ppl telling me I look better after.....I felt like it was a back handed " you used to look like crap". I call my self a lifer fat chick. I liked me, its my son whom I needed to be healthier for. I am still a woman and I still have an ego. But I shall only trust my boys. My son checks my tummy every few days to judge my readyness for a bike. Lol

I keep thinking that there's no way insurance is going to approve me because I can't imagine my self being skinny!!! It makes me so sad, I think oh wow, I can't wait to ware a tan kini and then I'm like ha keep on dreaming!!!

I get What your saying! It's crazy how fast I'm losing weight and how great I feel! Is this what I can look forward too? Being pain free and happy! So what we can't eat fast or that we have to chew for 5 minutes. PAIN FREE, happy and woooot we have necks!

I totally agree! My number one reason for doing this surgery was so I can properly take care if my daughter, she deserves so much better than I was able to give her before the surgery. Between fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome and the weight it just seemed like she was doomed because of my shortcomings!

I just can't believe I have been strong enough this far, between the restrictions, the pain and sacrifices I just can't help but feel I have earned this little slice of happiness for me and my little family (besides, we are VERY much looking forward to spending time together as an active family!!)

There are times I look at my clothes falling off of me and I can not believe it. I have had people say I look completly different and like a new me. The best thing is that my rhuematoid arthritis doc said my inflammation is the est she has seen it in years and I can start decreasing my prednisone dosage. I start playing soccer next week and I can tell my weight is down because it does not hurt to play.
