The scale this morning said 199.6! I am beyond excited. I haven't seen a one in front of the numbers on the scale since the year 2000. For fourteen years I had been climbing steadily toward 300 lbs., topping out at 287 but hovering around 273 for most of that time. I was about 130 lbs in college and remember hitting 150 and thinking how horrible it was to feel "fat."  But then again I thought I was fat at 130 lbs too. Age and experience certainly do bring perspective. I'll be thrilled if I get to 150 ever again.

When I think of all the wasted years during that time it makes me so sad to imagine all the things I missed, but it also makes me incredibly proud and grateful that I made the decision to get VSG and that a tool such as this is even available.

If anyone out there is on the fence about having this, or any, WLS, I can't tell you how much it has improved my life!

     

"Free your ass, and your mind will follow."  HW - 287, Start W - 273, Surgery W - 257, Onederland - 4 months 1 week post op,  100 lbs lost - 8 months 1 week, CW - 162

congratulations on this very significant milestone in your journey! If you want to be 150, you will be. You can make it happen. I hope you are celebrating this wonderful scale victory and rejoicing in your accomplishment. It takes a lot of work to lose 73 (or 87) pounds. That's not just the sleeve working. That's your dedication at work!
