Been feeling kinda down lately because this last 25 lbs to lose is a *****!  I have to admit that I have been eating some bad things here and there and I need to stop.  Its so much easier to eat bad things the farther out you are.  I thought that coming here and posting some before and afters would give me some motivation and it totally has.   Its been almost 2 years since surgery.  High weight was 373 and current weight is still 195.  Been here for several months. 

 

My 2 years follow up with surgeon in March 12th and then I have a plastic surgery consult on March 16th to see about getting a panniculectomy.   SO excited!   But first I want to get into the 180's before I see my surgeon.  Looking at these pics reminds me of how far I have come!

I remember when you first started posting here and you weren't at all convinced that this was going to work!

Congratulations on your success.  My best friend had reconstructive surgery (LBL) and lost about 15# of her excess weight.  Don't get too depressed until after you've done the surgery.

Oh my Lord, how fantastic do you look.  I am sitting here contemplating starting the two week preop liquid phase and not knowing which way to go with my op.  Doc says I might have to have a RNY when originally I wanted a sleeve because of scar tissue left by my lap band.  I have read so much stuff about both ops and was almost convinced on the RNY but then I see stuff about ulcers and issues with old stomach connecting to the new pouch and fistulas etc and it makes me panic.  I am wishing I never had the lap band but I can't go back and change it and now I am torn between both ops.  But I see your post and I think how freakin awesome you look and that is where I want to be in a year or so.  I am sick of being like this.  But I am so so nervous and I don't know what to do.  Was this the first ever surgery you had?
