Did gastric sleeve
my weight before surgery (August 2020) was 330 lbs!
my weight today is 165 lbs, it’s important for me to say that 1 year after surgery I was at 170 lbs.. but it took my body a little bit of time to adjust to the new wait, but what’s important is that I actually stayed consistent with the weight loss! Didn’t gain the weight back even tho I was warned before surgery that I might gain the weight back.
It’s been 6 years
I’m 26 years old now, I look back at 20 year old me with happiness.. I’m sure he knew he’s gonna get there and his life would get much healthier.
It’s important to note, I did a 360 liposuction and tummy tuck in September of 2025, and I am planning of doing a chest surgery since my chest doesn’t like how I want it to look like especially cuz I have gynecomastia.
For now, here are my before and after pictures!
It’s important to note, one of the biggest changes that I had was a huge difference in my skin color and even hair(???) my skin got WAY lighter, like shades lighter.
The key to staying consistent is actually remembering that I had the surgery, and how the process wasn’t as easy, neither for me or my family.. I feel like the surgery kind of pushes the thought of staying consistent and not gaining the weight back in ur head.
