Yep, I'm closing in on the two-year mark since my sleeve procedure, and the scale reads 147 pounds this morning. At 5'10", that brings my BMI down to 21.1, and that's a number I could NEVER have imagined after life as a size 5X, tipping the scales at 378 pounds! I'll be 56 years old in April, and I can honestly say that the last time I weighed less than 200lbs was in junior high school. I'm still coming to grips with the ridiculous amount of weight I had carried around all those years, all the abuse my poor body endured...it really is amazing that I am even here to share this experience! So, if any of you readers out there are still hesitant about "taking the plunge", all I can say is DO IT...Do it and don't look back!

Amazing success.. And it was all you and hard work. U did it!!

That is really remarkable! Congrats!

That's my goal ! Congrats !

I'm going to bookmark this post. Mine journey is expected to take 2 years as well. This is a great reminder that I can do it.

That is awesome. Congrats!

I am gobsmacked. What an accomplishment! I'd love to hear more about the changes you made in your thinking along the way - both about yourself, and about your relationship with food.

great question above by @@2goldengirl

i would also love to hear your story

in depth as much as you want to share

you have a lot to say

do you mind if i ask you if plastics will be done in the near future??

can't imagine the health benefits you've gone through

all the NSV's you've experienced

is it hard mentally to see your new self in a long mirror??

if your story turns out to be a short novel

that's ok - i'll drink water to your health while i read

i haven't read a good story in a long time

you are amazing

i can't even imagine how you feel

this and similar success stories from other people

should be listed for newbies, people deciding still to have WLS

but all the rest of "us" love a good success story too

Happy Surgiversary

kathy

congrats
