I'm nine months post op and had my visit with my surgeon today and he told me not to loose anymore weight!!! He said I have reached my weight loss goal and that I look amazing! I am soo happy! I went from a tight 18-20 down to a petite 4 !!! I top the scale during that time of the month when we all know I'm holding weight at 118.7 !!! I can't believe it... It seems unreal!!!

This was before surgery

You look great! Congratulations!

Fantastic!

What is the best advice for someone who is still early stages post RNY?

The best advice I can think of would be to follow your surgeons rules ! Don't cheat, your only sabotaging your own happiness and goals. And most important, everyone looses differently so don't compare your weight loss with other people's, or how slow or fast others seem to be loosing compared to you, it's not a race it's a journey that's different for each person!

You look so teeny tiny! What an amazing transformation! Congrats to you!

Looking good!!! Awesome work!!

Little boo, you look amazing...I'm at the same point. 9 months out and I am less than my goal weight...started at a size 22 in march to a size 8 today..

Did you have any plastic surgery? You don't look like you have any excess skin at all! You truly look amazing!! You are an inspiration!

@bubbles, if ur asking me... My stomach is almost completely flat with no extra skin, however before surgery it was not big considering... However, my upper arms and inner thighs have a small amount of excess skin that my surgeon and personal trainer both assure me within another year or so will be gone. I had big legs and upper arms in proportion to the rest of my body prior to surgery. But it really isn't that bad and no one notices it even when I point it out!
