13 months to Normal BMI - Woohoo! (with pics)
Hey, guys... I know I rarely post anymore... I just wanted to give you an update. I'm 13 months out and have gone from 307lbs to 168.4lbs and a BMI of 45.5 to a BMI of 24.9. I'm at a normal BMI as of today! Woohoo!!!
I plan to have plastic surgery in about 6-8 months and have begun the consultations. I'll have my arms, thighs, and breasts done... maybe a tummy tuck... but the tummy is not looking too bad.
Everything is still going great post-surgery and I'm thrilled that I made the decision to get it done! Good luck to all of you going through the process for your WLS! It's a life-changer!!!

I am so proud of you!
You have done an absolutely fabulous job and it shows. I don't know if I would recognize you if we passed on the street.
We need to have a Lunch Bunch Reunion.

P E A C E - It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

I'm sorry it took so long to respond... I only check in once or twice a month now.
I'm 39 as of May this year. I have loose skin on my arms and thighs and the breasts are pretty well deflated. So I won't wear shorts or short-sleeved/sleeveless shirts. I work out at the gym, but NO amount of work at the gym is going to get rid of my excess skin - be it cardio or strength training. I have consulted with Dr. Shack for plastic surgery at Vanderbilt. I was very happy with the meeting I had with him and I am leaning in that direction for surgery. However, I will interview at least two more surgeons before I make a decision. I don't plan to have surgery until March/April next year, so I'm putting off any more consults until the fall.
