I had surgery on June 11 2013 and it was the best feeling. Feel free to ask me any questions here are some updated pics

Beautiful! Congrats!

You look amazing!!! Love it.

If you can only name one thing, what was that one thing that contributed the most to your success (aside from WLS)?

What was your biggest mistake that took you back a step or two?

Honestly, I worked out and waist trained because as a woman it helped define a shape. As far as my or mistake everything is a learning process so I don't call anything a mistake I call it a learning experience. The only thing I wish I never done was taking the heartburn medication because it gave me heartburn. With everything that I eAt.

You look lovely! Thank you for sharing!

Your "before" picture is similar to the shape I am now. May I ask what size you were and what you are now? I'm still nervous about going through with something so permanent. I have a fear of regretting my decision once it's done. Was there much scarring after your surgery? Did you need to have skin removed? About how much did you lose in a week with exercise post-op?

I was 330 and now I, 318 the day of the surgery. I wore a size 24. And now I am a size 16 in jeans and a med/large shirts. No skin removal at this time. Weight lost varies I went up and done every week. DO NOT WEIGH YOURSELF EVERYDAY!!! You will lose your mind. In the beginning you will regret it after surgery, but hang it up. Stay strong and push forward.

What kind of waist training that's the area I'm struggling with I've lost 100 pounds but still struggling with my stomach area any advice??

Some people do waist training by wearing corsets.

Read about it, haven't tried it myself.

You looks fabulous, what an amazing transformation. Can I ask you about eating out. When do you start eating regular food. I am so worried I will become anti social and will never be able to go out to dinner with friends. And also worried about hair loss, how long before your hair goes back to normal?

It's 2 days post op and I feel soooo much sore and the gas doesn't seem to leave me alone.... I have not been drinking as per my needs, I feel like if I sip more I will vomit and I can't sip frequently either.... It's incredibly difficult to get anything inside of me.... Can you suggest what needs to be done here?

You look wonderful !

I've heard someone say that they got a gas relief tea and it was like a miracle! Peppermint tea might help w/that too.
