As of this week I finally hit a normal BMI and i promised myself when that time came I would finally share some pictures. By the way, I still do not like having my picture taken but before I hid behind everyone and because I was tall it was easy to hide the rest of me. Now I definitely am willing to get in the shot and I no longer cringe when I see the pictures.

The only pics I could find before surgery were taken on a cruise with my hubby, Son and Granddaughter. These were taken 1 month before my bypass.

My after was taken earlier today, down 137lbs and finally at a BMI of 24.9

Thanks everyone for the compliments. Things are still going great for me. I had my arm lift done in July and the results are phenomenal.

After the arm lift, I ended up gaining a few pounds but have since lost it again so all is going well.

These are my post op before and after pics:

*Pics were taken by my doctors office and are now on real self. She too was thrilled with the outcome. I would also call out that these pics were taken 3 weeks post op so I am still swollen! They are even more awesome now.....and yes, I am still swelling.

Brachioplasty was so worth it for me! I went shopping for a clothes for my business and I had so much fun trying on literally anything and everything fit my arms which was not the case before.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
