This is so awesome! My highest weight ever was 302 and I got down to 251 on my own but just struggled with the up and down yo-yo of losing weight then gaining for the past 3 years. food was an addiction to me and I needed help. I started having all of these issues with my health and I was so unhealthy. I'm so happy I got sleeved despite everyone who said I won't look right! I got sleeved 8 22 16, today I went to my follow up and I now weigh 214.6!!! I couldn't help but cry because I haven't seem that number in years! I still have a way to go but I'm so happy I let go of the negative people in my life and finally I'm doimg what makes me happy! I'm taking this journey one pound at a time! I'm just so happy!!

@@SoExcited101, I'm so excited for you, too. There's a lot to be said for honest emotion.

My history since surgery hasn't been perfect. In fact, far from it. Nevertheless, you remind me of my lowest weight, 198, about 15 months post-surgery. I was at a follow-up appointment and was floored when I saw the scale. All weepy, I thanked my surgeon, my NP, my RD and the entire office staff of the practice. They all said that it was all my work, but I really felt that each of them, even the one or two I'd never met before, had a part in the process. It was a delicious feeling and I'm glad you're having your version now. Thank you for sharing it.

@@SoExcited101,

Congratulations! What a great way to start off your weight loss surgery journey! That should really give you motivation to keep working hard so you can keep seeing those great numbers…and see yourself look and feel better.

And it may not be the most important thing, but it sure feels good to show the doubters a thing or two!

Keep up the good work!

Goooo girl. A lot of people won't understand nor will they get it Bc it's not them. I'm

Having this issue at work. People chatting about why I'm not at work. And others telling why I'm out. At the end of the day it's the persons decision. We all kno what we have to do for us. Everyone one else can kick rocks
