My one year Surgiversary Pics!

  • Popular Post

Hard to believe what a difference a year can make... lost 121 lbs. so far! So glad I took "Before" pics and actually saved the clothes (3X top & 2X pants) to try on again at my 1 year Surgiversary! Here are the pics to show the difference, along with a couple of current pics in clothes that actually fit (tops M & jeans S). Having RNY (4/21/15) was one of the best decisions I've ever made! "Thank you" to all who've encouraged, supported and loved me every step of the way. Here's hoping everyone can be the Happiest and Healthiest version of themselves :)

    Fantastic!!!!! May I ask- any issues with extra skin? It's the only thing I fear. My skin has no elasticity due to YEAR of prednisone for RA. There is no way I will avoid a drooping tummy. But that's what plastics is for!

    At 54 and my skin being stretched out for 27+ years, I have lots of loose skin. I have an extra set of arms, thighs and extra belly skin - LOL! What I don't have? My DD's but instead a couple of pancakes. Gotta laugh or I might cry. I'm OK with it all because I took this drastic step to prevent another stroke! I'd do it again in a heart beat :)
