Hello everyone, I had my surgery on the 26th of February 2016... Almost four years now!

I just wanted to show that it's possible to maintain your weight even after a few years... I'm happy with the decision I made even though I was only 23 back then. It changed many aspects of my life, mostly in a very good way!

Here are some "before pics":

Here are some pics from my 2019/2020 trip to Slovakia (I did celebrate new year's eve with nice drinks, oops):

If I can be useful or answer any question, don't hesite to ask me anything

Cheers from Belgium!

I must say it's not the easiest to come back to the forums once you are... used to your new way of life, especially since I had little to no regain!

Thanks a lot for the compliment ? it's very kind of you!

Came on here for insp...not going to lie, I have a tiny crush. Congrats to you and everyone else!

Broke the 80lb mark today, almost at 250 (which opens up a whole new world of ladders I can safely climb!). I didn’t think I looked that different until I did this side by side, probably the first time since surgery I’ve really looked at pics of me “before.” Even though I’m not at my goal I’m just dumbfounded at the change to be honest. FYI I never once wore that shirt, it was a 3xl and assumed it would fit, so it’s been hanging sadly in my closet ever since. I tried on a size large regular shirt and it fit!!! Crazy, not even in high school could I have done that. I’m tall so I will still probably need to get some new clothes from a big and tall store but at least I’ll only be there for half of that. As every says, wish I did this years ago.
