I haven't spent as much time on OH as I used to but I ALWAYS love seeing everyone's course throughout their own journeys. This website has incredible sources of knowledge and support.
I've been overweight/obese all of my life. I started my WL journey at 253 lbs., had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and incredibley poor self esteem. Keyword here is HAD. I no longer take meds, but swapped them out for vitamins. And my self esteem has blossomed. I have more energy than I can ever remember having! Having sleeve surgery is by far the best decision I made for me and my family!

Without further adieu, here are my before, during, and now shots. First one is right after surgery. The 2nd was taken at 4 months. The 3rd pic is at 10 months.

Did I mention I LOVE my sleeve?!

Final goal: 150-155 ...MET 153 (-100lbs) 11/24/11)

I really like him. I was so glad I had him rather than Goyal much more personable and he is so normal. I changed mind 10 inutes before I went into surgery from RNY to VSG. He did not even blink an eye he said " I knew you were going to change your mind 2 weeks ago". Going in for my 6 month check up on the 8th of June. Trying to lose a few more pounds before then. I have never attended any of their events perhaps I will in the future.
