I very rarely post before and after pics, but I feel safer doing it here than I do anywhere else. Since I'm only 9 months out (I was sleeved 6-30-14), I consider myself to be a work in progress and not necessarily at my ultimate "after." I've lost 100 pounds, though, and I'm very happy where I am. I'd like to lose a bit more, but if I was told that I had to stay at exactly the weight I'm at now forever, I'd be blissfully happy.

You look great!

WOW ..... I only hope I look half that good. Beautiful.

100lbs in 9 months is amazing! You look awesome! You have a beautiful smile

You look really good, Amazing progress! 9 months.... you gave birth to a new you! You also look younger now.

A fantastic achievement and a great positive attitude to match!

Wow, thank you all soooo much. More than anything else, I FEEL amazing, like an entirely different person. I have so much energy, and I feel so much healthier. This surgery has exceeded my wildest expectations, and I truly feel that it's the best decision I've ever made for myself.

Congrats you look amazing!

Thank you! It really doesn't matter how quickly you get there, slow and steady wins the race. I've been feeling great since day 1, and every day after. Just knowing that you're heading in the right direction feels awesome! I know that people get caught up in the numbers, but one of my most monumental victories happened at 3 weeks out, when my husband could finally sleep with me again because I wasn't snoring loudly enough to wake the dead! I hadn't lost that much at that point, but my health and quality of life (sleep apnea) was already improving dramatically.

Thank you all for the very kind, positive and supportive comments. They are truly appreciated!
