3 years out!

Just wanted to give a little update... this week I hit my 3 year surgery anniversary! Thankfully not to much to report... I have been maintaining my goal weight for the past 1.5 years. Plastic surgery is on my mind almost everyday (especially come summer) and I am hopeful that in the near future I can have my first procedure done. Just had bloodwork and everything was excellent except my ferrtin levels were low... but that can easily be corrected. I still take all my vitamins and suppliments each and every day.... I never miss! (chomping on my calcium as I type!). Overall feeling pretty much 'normal'. I went from a size 22/24 top and 28 pants to now wearing medium tops and size 8 in pants (give or take, sizes are so crazy!! lol).
Any questions feel free to ask! To all those newbies out there just keeping hanging in there and doing all the things necessary to not only lose the weight but keep it off!

First visit to surgeon - 288 ~ bmi 45.1
2 week pre-op 252 ~ bmi 39.5
Total lost - 153 Since surgery - 117!
Goal weight - 155 (mine) 180 (surgeons)
Current weight - 135 (2020 I lost 10lbs due to dedicating myself to working out more and being in better shape)

Thank you so much for your post. I am newly post-op and it is so nice to here updates such as yours. It is very encouraging to us that are still in the honey moon stage.
Thanks again, and congratulations on your long term success!

Thank you for posting about your success! I am deciding to have WLS and been reading about complications and people gaining most if not all of their weight back and I'm getting a little freaked out. It's good to know that many good outcomes do and can exist.

Best wishes for continued success.

Blessings,

Carolyn
