6 years post op

Jul 02, 2013

When I had my surgery I don't think I imagined what my life would look like in 6 years.  I am still thrilled with my sleeve.  It is the best thing I have done for myself.  I am at 193 pound which is about 20 pounds higher than where I want to be but it is exactly 100 pounds down from my initial weight.  I was 213 lbs last year but I've managed to lose 20 pounds since October.  I will be honest that I haven't kept up good habits.  I've canceled my gym membership because of non-use and I'm not mindful of my eating.  The only reason that I am under 200 lbs is because of my sleeve. 

I'm still thrilled with my successes and the confidence I have because of my weight loss.  I love putting a towel around me after a shower.  I am still happy to shop in the non plus size departments.  I am grateful I can fit in an airplane seat and have plenty of room.  I can go out and talk to people and not feel ashamed of my size.  I'm still considered overweight at my current weight but I still feel like a rock star.

My husband is obese and I am encouraging him to look into weight loss surgery, specifically the VSG.  I've been out of the weight loss surgery market for a while so I don't know if there is anything new but for me the VSG is perfect.
