One year ago today was my surgery. Starting weight was 285, at 5 foot 2. Now I'm down 115 pounds with 20 pounds til goal. So happy with the changes this has made in my life, heck, I'm a green belt in taekwondo now! Before surgery walking to and from my car was all the "exercise" I got! Not good with attchments, we'll see if this works.

Wow, you look fantastic! Have you had any problems with loose skin? Also, what types of exercise did you do?

Your pictures look fantastic! Congrats keep up the hard work.

missbrown, I have loose skin but it's certainly manageable. I use shapewear when I'm wearing something form fitting. As far as exercise, I do taekwondo about 3 or 4 times a week and yoga once a week. I've never been active, so group activities are a better way for me to stay motivated.

Thanks Inelson. My fear is to have a lot of loose skin. I now have hope that with a lot of hard work I can minimize the chances of extreme loose skin. Again, you look wonderful and I wish you the very best!
