I'm 6 months and 10 days out and loving life. I hit goal at 5-1/2 months (lost 72 pounds) and I'm staying right at that number +/- 2 pounds. Tuesday, my surgeon had a holiday celebration for former and prospective patients. He asked me to be one of the models and it was SO much fun! Here're the transformation photos that tell the whole story without words

How incredible has this surgery been!

You look wonderful. What a pretty dress. Congratulations on all the work you have done. You should be so very proud! And you might not even be done yet.

Good for you! Congrats on your success!

Congrats you look great, keep up the great work, I feel like you do a princess, when I went to my support group my support group specialist did not even know it was me. I went from a size 3 x and wear a size large dress now and I am loving the new me. I am looking forward to 2015 and hitting target weight of 170, I want to try rock climbing.

Cupcake, rock climbing sounds fun. We have around the same goal weight. I am looking forward to hitting it also in 2015. I hope before my 1 year...

It is encouraging to see others hit goal weight... Can I ask who sets goal weight my Dr. Has never talked final weight with me.. Just keeping with the program...

My doctor asked what I would like to see & where I would feel "comfortable". The high end for my height is 148 but I have been 155 before & looked gaunt so I said I would re-evaluate around 170 (12 more pounds to go). When I was 18 and weighed 155 & wore a size 6 I didn't have extra skin or hips from having a baby like now so things def look different right now.

My doctor set my goal weight to 170 , and that is what I am aiming for the closer I get to my goal i will see if I am comfortable at that weight.

I am glad to see the goal weight isn't off those charts..I know some point in my life I weighted under 180 but I must have been around 13... I am the smallest I ever remember at a size 14 and weighing 205 my goal is 175 and I will be happy... I agree 3 babies and being heavy my whole life... Yea I will be very happy...

Congrats
