Hello everyone! I wanted to go ahead and start an August surgery group. With everyone's date rolling in, I figured it was time! My surgery is August 2 and I am nervous and excited, but mostly ready to be done!!! How about everyone else?

Looking great

Ty yall!! Can't wait till i reach the 100!!

And i am also 24,lbs to onederland!!! ))

Hey August group... It's been 9 months since surgery.. I am down 133 pounds, ND have been stalled at 189 for about 2 months... The main reason is, because I can't exercise currently.. I'm due to see a vascular specialist because my veins stretched so much being so large, and loosing the weight so rapidly they never went back to their original shape. So I have ugly varicose veins in my upper and lower legs, and not only that but there causing circulation issues, and I move my legs all night long due to the constant pain I'm in from them.. They go numb often, and taking a hot bath... Forget it! The heat makes them even worst.. Right now I am being made to wear compression Stockings to help with the circulation, and eventually I am going to need the veins stripped.. Whatever that means lol. I feel great, I haven't gotten a whole lot of energy just yet.. I feel like the same ole me.. However I'm not out of breath doing simple things like I use to.. I still feel tired Alot though, and haven't found anything that super excites me.. I am more in tune with my body now.. I know when I need to up my fluids, and I can't ever miss a dose of b12, cause when I do, the next day is completely awful.. I feel extremely sick.. My levels are great with blood work.. There's nothing I can't eat except milk.. Everything agrees so far, so good. I can do maybe 1/2 cup total of food, depending on the density... I can do 1 egg and a half slice of toast.. 1 Taco, 1/2 lean cuisine Panini... Examples... I drink a lot of Water, or propel zero... Everything else is too sweet... I also drink Alot of coffee.. So bad I know lol... I'm in a size 10 pants, and a large shirt.. Never thought I'd borrow my daughters clothes lol.. I

attached new photos... Oh my hair stopped falling out as well! Biotin 10,000 mcg definitely made a difference!!! How is everyone doing??

You guys look fabulous!!! My surgery was aug 6th. I'm down 98lbs. I couldn't start exercising until i.lost 80lbs due to my back n knees. I still have to be careful. But at least its still coming off.

My daughter is only 17 n at age 16 had to have her varicose veins stripped. Don't no why she got them. But dr. Said she was the youngest hed seen. They just go in n strip them n cortarize them.

Wow you look great
