Creating a new thread because the other one has gotten really long.

So, here are my before and currents to keep the topic moving.

Current as of last week:

My wife bought me a custom-made suit as an early birthday gift and it fits me perfectly. The first photo was taken on our wedding day 11 years ago and the other two were taken yesterday with the new suit.

Wedding suit

vs new suit 11 years after and 2 and half year post WLS. I need to buy new shoes as well since my old shoes are too big now

Current as of last week:

A few days pre-op (90 kgs) 7 months post op (55.6 kgs).

A couple hiking adventures. I would have NEVER been able to do this prior to surgery. Having WLS saved my life.

Great job everyone!

4 years post Gastric Bypass. Zero complications, maintained weight loss and found exercise I love. This journey inspired me to get into healthcare.

Down 90lbs from 230 to 141. Not quite at 18 month mark yet and still losing weight but sloooooowly. I would like to lose 6-11 more. Down from XXX to M clothes! You all look fabulous! I love seeing people’s before and after. Pictures like these were one of the biggest influences on whether or not to have sleeve surgery! Thank you to all for your inspiration!!!!

Before 262 lbs size 18

After 136 lbs size 2

I haven't had any plastic surgery done. There is some saggy skin and my breasts are.. well, ladies you know. But otherwise, I am 150% happy with the results I am so thankful for the opportunity to have had this procedure. It has completely changed my life!

The various photos in the mirror ?

Loooing good!

I’ve recently hit the one year mark since my VSG. While I’ve reached goal much earlier on, I feel the past few months have been really transformative. My body composition has improved so much, I look lean, my abs are visible, my arms and legs are defined and I feel so good.

My biggest fear (the culprit to not considering VSG earlier) was that I won’t be able to workout as intensely or lift heavy, and that my muscles will wither and die, which couldn’t be farthest from the truth. I workout almost daily, I lift heavy and have excellent muscle tone. I am also so grateful that I don’t have loose skin and don’t need plastics!

Life is so much better in every way. I would do it every year if need be. So grateful ❤️
