Wow! That's amazing! Congratulations!! I can't wait to have a success story like yours. I've been over weight my whole life. I was never "the skinny girl" and I never thought I'd be healthy. I'm so excited that I have this opportunity to do this.

Do you have any scars from the surgery?

you'll love it! It helps having awesome support groups, especially people your own age. I have some scars, just where they did the incisions. They heal over time, and unless you know what to look for, you can barely see them. I haven't worried too much about preventative measures because I know eventually I'll have to have excess skin removed anyway.

Yep, still pre op! My dr appt and psych evaluation is next week, then my education class is on the 26th. My surgery should be scheduled shortly after that, and since I'm self pay and I don't have to deal with insurance it should be scheduled quick. I'm guessing mid April! :)

:) I think you guys will like the sleeve. Had mine on Feb 24th. I lost 10 lbs on pre-op diet and I lost 12 lbs my first week. I am trying not to weigh myself everyday because it's so exciting. Lol but I know I have lost a ton more since then

Such a great job @@wwled! Awesome! I'm panicking waiting to hear back if I've been approved today makes 2 weeks that I haven't heard back from my doctor- am calling to see where I stand hoping my sleeve surgery will take place April sometime - started the progress in September (feels like 4ever ago!) I've always been happy in my skin as the big girl of the group but have longed to go "off the rack" shopping with my size 4 girlfriends! Now I know I won't be that small but I'm so excited for this next chapter in my life and hitting the racks! ????????????

Keep up the great work! ????

I'm just starting out on my journey. I'm 28 and have decided I can not spend my 30's like I have my 20's. Valuable youth was wasted on staying in while all my "skinny" friends went shopping and for fun nights out. But more than that I have a 3 year old daughter who is autistic and she is my world. I want to be able to run, jump, and play with her. So here I am. I'm on this and other sites non stop gathering info. I'm also totally being a creeper in Instagram ( I've prob started fallowing half of you already!)?i love see how everyone is doing and how much their life is improved. Makes this major decision a bit easier! My IG is. lei_mua. :)

I totally agree with you! I am 27 and I don't want to spend the rest of my life, I spent the past years-- on a yoyo diet. Not what I call an enjoyable life! Looking forward to new experiences that I won't have to worry about if I will "fit" on the chairs or what will I look like!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
