Hey all!! I wanted to share my update B&A pic, Halloween edition! I chose my outfit last year during the Preop phase. My surgeon, Dr. Ariel Ortiz, completely inspired my choice. He reminded me of Batman- intriguing, handsome, mysterious (even though after I met him he was still handsome but a total ball of energy- so cool). I thought of the operating room as the Batcave where he would whip me into shape with all his fancy gadgets and weaponry. So I decided last September I wanted to be Poison Ivy! A year in the making, I am so thankful and blessed

Hello all! I was sleeved in August 2013. I haven't lost the pounds that I hoped to (lost 85), but I have to say that I am pretty happy with the results and have no regrets about having the sleeve.

I started running back in March and have run a 5k and was a member of a Bourbon Chase relay marathon team--I ran over 13 miles. Needless to say, I wouldn't have been able to run a mile before my sleeve-induced weight loss without feeling I was going to croak! I run 20-25 miles every week, I take a pilates class (on the reformer) and I regularly attend barre and stretching classes. I do exercise every single day.

So, am I a skinny little size 6 with a tiny butt? Nope, but I am a very fit size 10/12 and feeling pretty, pretty good! Like most people who've lost weight, I've got quite a bit of the old hanging skin on my upper arms and inner thighs. I'm having a brachioplasty (arm lift) in about a month and plan to have the thigh lift early next year. Yes, the scars will be ugly, but hanging and swinging skin is not hot either!

Here's me before and after--the before is Christmas 2012, the after is a few days ago.

Hey, and thanks! I pretty much lost most of the pounds in the first 9 months. I haven't lost a thing in six months, but I am definitely firmer and certain parts trimmer because of working out. I don't know that I'm addicted to the exercise as much as I've just made a part of my everyday life. My primary motivation for having the surgery was to be able to return to the activities that make me happy--things like playing tennis, hiking, skiing. I will say that the running is almost more of a mental thing than a physical one in the sense that it gives me a tremendous mental boost. Pilates has done wonders. I have a great instructor who pushes me way beyond what I think I can do. I also am just much less sedentary. I moved from a house to a condo that is centrally located in my town so I can and do walk to everything. I even bought a cheap little grocery bag wheelie thing from IKEA and walk to the grocery. I think adding a few miles of walking each day also makes a huge difference. Thanks for the nice post :)

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
