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:

Heck when I was dieting I got within 50lbs of goal. I couldn't fit anything beyond a 12 and people thought I was getting too skinny.

It's perception and comparison to where you started. You look amazing and those arms!!!

@@Gaelsmom you made me lol...that's just a good angle on the arms :-) Although I've got some good tone, believe me, I've got some wing action going. But thanks for the kind words!

Your arms look wonderful! If you want to see some wings, come my way! Uggghhh! That is officially my mission when I'm back home tomorrow, to get rid or these hanging, saggy arms of mine!

I've lost 102lbs so far. I can't believe I was that other person.

Congratulations ladies & gents, you all look amazing!

I'm still a work in progress! Almost 3 months post op, and I'm down 60#. @ 5'8"- 179lbs. The sleeve is the best decision I've EVER made, by far. More to come!

Thanks everyone for sharing! Such inspiration.

You ladies are beautiful!!????????????. I love the pics and it's so great to visualize what too can happen for us! Thank you, thank you, thank you and best wishes for continued success!

@@lauraellen80 I do mugshot pics every 30 days! It really helps keep me motivated even when the scales let me down!!

4 mos and 3 days post sleeve and I've lost 72lbs. I'm excited and can really tell a difference. I bought some new jeans (again), a fitted T-shirt, and a dress today. I remembered the love I had for the person looking back at me in the mirror. I've missed this me, for so long. And I'm so happy to have her back!!
