I had my sleeve done on Oct 18, 2017. BEST DECISION EVER. I am almost a new person. The things I can do now that I couldnt before such as drive without the steering wheel on my stomach, tie my shoes without being out of breath, walk up stairs without hurting, play with my son. These are just a few things I can do now. So far I have lost a total of 110lbs! The only loose skin I have is my arms but it's always been like this. Working out to tone them up as much as possible!!! Guys what's your story.

Congratulations! You're doing awesome and so glad to hear about those things that you can do now that you couldn't do before. I can totally relate... I couldn't tie my shoes before, among many other things.

Keep up the awesome work! :)

8 months out and I am down 56 lbs. I have 20 more to go for goal. I bought a swimsuit tonight at academy and it only took me 20 minutes. Big NSV for me. Bottoms are 10 and top is 14. Of. course I have flabby arms and thighs but granddaughter won't care when we are at the pool together. Yea all of us!

That's amazing news! It gives me hope! My surgery date is June 12 and I'm constantly nervous about failing and not losing weight. I love these success stories. There are so many things I can't do now. I really look forward to be able to do the little thing. Walk up stairs, fit in the chairs at the sports stadium, buy clothes that don't have to be ordered online, go outside without sweating. I hope I have your kind of success!


Transitioning from lapband to bypass on June 12!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
