So, it's been 7 1/2 months since my surgery & my new lease on life has kept me off the computer = lol, that's a good thing, but I've failed to keep tabs on many of you in the WLS journey! I'm so grateful for this surgery & the health it has restored. I feel better than I have since my college days, I'm off all medications -only take my bariatric vitamin & fiber each day, I'm able to keep up with my young children (7-yr old twins & a 23-mo old) & the bedroom activity level is definately having added perks too (sorry if that's TMI!). Last week (just past 7-mo mark) I reached the 100#s lost mark which was very, very, very exciting!

The first set of photos below were the "before" photo & 3-mo post-op in the front view.
The second set of photos were the "before" photo -side view & the 6-mo post-op!
Amazing transformation in progress if I do say so myself & I still have a ways to go! Best wishes to all of you in your journey!

congrats on your success! I remember before you had surgery you had some major obstacles standing in your way, I'm so glad you were able to overcome those be successful! Keep rockin that sleeve girl!

There is only one success--to be able to spend your life in your own way.

Thanks!! Yea, primary obstacle being my 15-mo old baby being hospitalized the night before my surgery for sleep apnea = not good! It was actually the urging of his pediatrician to keep my surgery as scheduled that tipped the scales for me decision-wise. I was debating it & feeling like a horrible mother for even considering leaving my baby in a hospital 3 hrs from where my surgery was taking place about 12 hrs later, but his pediatrician assured me that he would take great care of my angel & that grandma could comfort him in my absence! It was difficult getting poked & prodded & just not being able to hold him. It was a giant leap of faith for me to remember that God was with him, even when I wasn't able to be! God was with me too & he gave me swift healing & speedy travels to get back to my family!
