I am only 3mo post op and I saw the difference in my progress photos today and wanted to share - just my belly - I think it is 1 week post op vs 3 months. I am a slow loser, or more of a staller dropper (I have had a stall of at least 14 days all three months lol) so taking photos really helps me!

You’re doing great!! Keep up the great work!!
@tjwirth I have not had any plastic surgery, so yes, I do have loose skin. Mostly on my upper arms and lower abdomen (I’d need a tummy tuck).

I’m only 2 months out but you can really see a difference in my face! As I progress, I’ll upload a body shot one day. Bypass Nov 17th 2020. 41 lbs down.

This is the most recent comparison that I have. SW (5/1/19) 327, VSG (12/17/19)- 264, RNY revision (8/11/20)- 211, Thanksgiving weight- 185

I had emergency surgery 12/26/20 so I haven’t taken a current photo lately but my current weight is 157, so 7lbs from goal.
