Hello - I had surgery 5/9/06 and have lost 50 lbs already! :clap2:

I'm not sure if I am loading these pics up correctly, but one picture is of me (the "before" picture) is at the hospital in Mexico and the other two (the "after" pictures) are from this past weekend, 8/20/06)...

Here is after pics of almost 125lbs down and 1 year out. I'm still not happy with the skin issue, but I'm happy with the overall weight loss.

Everyone looks great!! Keep up the good work.

Ok, now for my 11 month post-op photos. Pardon the poor picture quality but I can't find my digicam and had to use the cell phone camera.

My starting weight was 274 pounds and I'm 182 pounds in these pictures.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
