266-175, I'm six feet tall and so grateful. Having Mexico and an awesome doctor as an option saved my life.

Tawny,

Can you share about your surgical scars? How large and visible they are now that you're all healed?

Thank you!

Scars are tiny. Never had anyone notice them and even I can barely see them now. If I really look, I can't. But they look almost like a thin scratch line. It took about 8 months for the scar redness to fade completely.

Thank you for sharing, Tawny. It is such a relief to hear that! You must be very pleased, since your body is definitely bikini-worthy!????

Girl...you have every right to feel comfortable in you skin, bikini, whatever...you look amazing! And what a victory that truly must have been...feeling utterly confident to show and discuss your body with no shame, guilt, etc! I'm so looking forward to feeling that way next summer. You are such a sweetheart for sharing your pictures and story. It really helps! I can tell you well remember those anxious pre-surgery days, when your mind was filled with all the question marks and exclamation points. It's so helpful to have this community and people like you who are willing to share and support!

I'm 2.5 months post-op and my scars are still really visible but fading fast. I have no doubt that I could wear a bikini and no one would notice. My stretch mark "scars" will be much more noticeable than the sleeve scars once the sleeve scars fade to skin color. Plus I'm super pale (and 47) so everything like that is extra visible on me ;)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
