Hi everyone!  

Yesterday marked 6 months since my sleeve surgery.  It just so happens that yesterday I weighed in at 224 lbs, which means a loss of 100.3 lbs!  I am so, so happy that I was fortunate to have this procedure down.   Yes, I had to pay for it out of pocket.  I'm glad we were in a position to do so (with the help of a medical loan) and that I have such amazing family and friends for support.  I waited for about a year to do my research, get my hubby on board, and get our finances together.  Pre-ops - I know the wait is SO hard.  But hang in there, your day will come.  

This is the best thing I have ever done for myself.  I can MOVE.  I can ENJOY my life with FREEDOM!  I posted before and after (should be called "before and during" cuz I'm not done yet!) on my blog.  It is the most recent entry.  The next entry is my 6 month update.

I started at 324lbs and a size 26.  After losing 100 lbs, I became pregnant with my first daughter, who was born in March 2011.  My second daughter was born in September 2013.  I have maintained a healthy lifestyle and now hover around 160lbs.  I would like to get back to the 140lbs before I became pregnant with my second daughter.  The sleeve literally gave me LIFE - two beautiful, healthy little girls.  My husband had his VSG with Dr. Marema on 10/1/2012 and is on his weight loss journey, currently down 90lbs.
