October 5, 2022 was my surgery date. Forward one year and it has been wonderful. Got on the scale today and was at 198. So not only did I finally get to "onederland" but have lost 163lbs. My bmi is 28 opposed to 50+. I couldn't have done it without my bariatric team, friends and family cheering me along the way. I'm so thankful and even though I still want to lose about 25 lbs, I find it amazing with the tool of gastric sleeve, my life has changed so much.

Congratulations it sure does feel great!!

Congratulations!!!!

Congratulations and I am so happy for your success

Congrats. I’m hoping my bmi will be below 30 by my one year mark.

Oh wow congratulations!! You've done amazingly so far. I hope you reach your goal - really close now!

Congratulations! It's an amazing feat to lose over 150 pounds. That's pretty much a whole person! ?

I've only lost a little over 51 pounds in 14 months after surgery, but I'm still super happy to finally be under BMI 30 and also to be under 90 kilos (198 pounds) for the first time in more than 10 years. After years of yo yo dieting, and all kinds of supplements, diets and exercise plans, this was the only thing that worked.

Even though BMI is not an exact science, it still feels so great to be simply "overweight" and no longer obese. I hope everyone here will experience that and more!
