The day is finally here! Whoop whoop! Where are my sleeve sisters (or brothers) !!!!!

I have to be at admitting tomorrow morning at 7:30. Surgery is scheduled for 9:30! Beyond excited at this point. Not an ounce of doubt or fear. Bring it on!

We had my brothers wedding two weeks ago and I could finally see the transformation! I hope you are all doing well!!

Way to go! I am down the exact amount!

A belated Merry Christmas to those in Bariatric land who celebrate! How have the holidays been for everyone? I haven't had much issue now that the cookies are all gone from the cookie exchange I attended a few weeks ago! Moderation is key and I'm making healthy choices most of the time! Would love to hear how everyone has been! We used to be such an active post. What happened?!?!??

Bluesea71 wow you look great !

Bluesea71 wow you look great !

Huh? Where do you see a picture of me?

Whoops wrong person haha @ bluesea71

Mschartz924 wow you look good! Well done

I never let people take body pics of me so I only have a face before pic but here it is. Bs 278 4/23/14 today 178! Down 100lbs still have 60 to go

Looking good guys! I wish I could post a pic as I'm proud of my success! I'm a tad nervous as the only people who know I had wls are my partner and my parents! Even my two kids are clueless! We were out to lunch the other day and my 13 y.o son said to me, "are you still thinking about having that surgery where they remove your stomach?" I laughed and said, "I had it, how do you think I've gone from 241 to 159 pounds?" His response? "Mom, don't you think we would notice if your stomach was cut open and if you stayed in a hospital?" Well there you go. If you didn't know how ego-centric teenagers are, they are both clueless to 1) hospitals kicking patients out the day after surgery and 2) modern advances in surgery! They didnt believe me when I tried telling them the truth! Let them be clueless. I'm just fine not having others knowing the secret to my success

How is everyone doing?? I haven't been on here in a while. I was 274 when I started my classes. 255 when I saw my surgeon for the first time and now I'm hovering around 155. I stopped going to the gym because I was really comfotable in my body, but decided I want to lose a little more around my tummy. I don't have much lose skin at all. My boobs are like tiny floppy pancakes (while I always thought I was well endowed with a big booty and nice boobs, it ends up they were both just fat). They were the first to go. I can't find a bra to fit. But hey, if that's all I got to say that's even remotely negative then I will take it!!! My husband is well on his way to getting approved for his surgery and hoping to have his surgery in the next month or so. Well anyways....I'm extremely pleased with how thia all went down and miss reading everyone's updates...so check in and let us know how it's going.

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been around. Life is good! I'm down to 157! 6 more pounds to hit 100 lbs gone forever! Trying to stay on track but sometimes that chocolate calls my name. I guess eating such a little bit has come part of my life. I dont realize it until we go out to dinner (which is rarely) and I can hardly eat anything. Even when I order an appetizer size. I am SO glad I did this. I'm wearing a size 6-8 and I don't ever remember wearing that size!! I hope you are all doing well! This journey has been amazing ????

Down 105 surgery on 4/23 but have been stalled for 3 weeks! Driving me crazy!

Wow!!! You look amazing!!!
