Had my sleeve surgery June 26th, 2018. I’ve lost about 120 pounds total. I’m at 165 right now (goal was 180). I’m ready for a tummy tuck and breast lift!!! But after trying on my new BIKINI today I’m thinking maybe I should save the $20k and just enjoy a being skinny with a little bit of extra skin lol. I just wanted to show some before and after pics bc I know that looking at other people’s helped me when I needed some motivation and hope! So here they are! I’m happy, healthy, and proud of where I am!

From a man's perspective you look great.

A bikini works wonders keeping everything together.

Your top half looks good you didn't lose your curves which is lucky.

Very good looking lady! May I ask your age x

Thank you! I will be 35 in a few weeks ?

My vote is to save your money! There are so many other ways to use it to enjoy life beyond taking care of the extra skin. Take a once in a lifetime vacation instead!

Good point!!! That’s what I keep telling myself lol

Thanks! Yeah I need to do that LOL I got the bottoms from amazon $12.99. Top is from Salvation Army $2.50!!! I had a seamstress take it in as it was too big around the waist and I couldn’t be happier bc I can NEVER find a top to fit me!!!

Thank you ???

Seriously. if I looked like you, i would not be waiting money on surgery! I hope I look as good as you after my plastics! Congrats!

You look absolutely amazing!!! I am now about 7 months post op... Can I ask you a question, did you struggle from like 5 to 7 months with losing? I haven't lost any weight I feel for like almost 3 months but at the same time I haven't gained any either. I am just trying to figure out if this is something normal or not. My starting weight was 257, day of surgery I was 238 and now i am down to 189. Any words would help as I feel lost right now. But you go girl you look great!!!

Thank you! Yes, I stayed the same for about three months but I was happy with where I was so I didn't care much. I think I lost another 10 within the past 2-3 months but I don't weigh myself regularly. I know it sounds strange, but I swear when I started eating more I saw that I lost more weight or at least stayed the same!

You look DYNAMITE! Way to go! ?
