Hey all!

I used to visit this board a lot, well, when it was verticalsleevetalk. Life caught up with me so I wasn't able to come online much. Just wanted to give everyone an update!

I had my surgery November 21, 2011, so it's been a little over two years. Highest weight was around 289, surgery weight was 273. Proud to say I'm 160 pounds!

The following pictures show how far I've come and they're from my graduations. First one was high school, and I think I weighed about 250. Second was community college graduation and I was about 280. Third one is from university graduation, which was 3 days ago!

I'm posting this so people can further believe that this does work! Just have to keep faith in yourself!

You look fab, congratulations on the weightloss and your graduation. You must feel more confident now as you start on your career.

You look Great Congrats.

Congrats! You are starting your new life and you must be so proud.

Congratulations, on both your weightless and your graduation! You look so beautiful, happy, and confident.
