I had my sleeve surgery in November 2016. Pre surgery weight was 470. After 2 week pre-op diet I was 440. This week I weighed in at 220 pounds. That's 250 pounds LOST and it's been easy. I am insanely glad that I made the decision to get this surgery. I've heard stories of people who gain weight back after this surgery, and it baffles my mind because even 2+ years later I still get full so quickly. I can't imagine how anyone can eat too much with such a reduced stomach size. I know instantly that I cannot eat anymore once my stomach is full. I know instantly that if I took another bite I would feel physically ill. Anyway, I am beyond happy with my health and the way I look. From a 58 waist to a 36 slim fit in jeans.

Yay me!

You look amazing and your success is inspiring. I'm not sure I'd ever be able to post photos of myself. Even though I've lost 99lbs, I still don't feel comfortable with the way I look. The emotional baggage is hard to shake. I probably set an unrealistic goal weight. My doctor would be thrilled with 150lbs, but I'm hanging on to 130lbs for reasons unknown.

You look amazing
