15 Month Progression Pics

Terry, you have had an amazing journey!!! You look SO GOOD!! Tell me how life is different for you now! I'm 11 months post op and am energetic, active, and love dressing to the nines in my sz 6/8's!!

Every bit of life is better.  Not only is the physical aspect better in every respect, but my self confidence and esteem is over the moon.  I have resumed scuba diving (a passion of mine), I'm taking up sailing with a friend of mine, my wife and I are much closer, I feel better... 

No more diabetes, high blood pressure, gout, constant sweating and discomfort, being out of breath after a few stairs... best decision I've made after marrying my DW.

Simply amazing. What an achievement!

Thanks Sleeveless!

Wow...Congratulations...you look amazing!! Outstanding job!! 

Incredible job! Keep up the fantastic work!  You look amazing!  

Thanks Gale... 8lbs to goal...wow!

You have given me hope that I will be able to put my arms around my hubby again, surgery is about 2 months away, give or take, and it can't come quick enough.  Don't see many men on here so yours is a great story that I will share with him tomorrow...Thanks for your blog!!!!!

You are most welcome.  You guys will be much happier physically.  My advise is to be sure that you also address your relationship issues (good and bad) up front.  My wife and I talked about that a lot before and during.  It was very helpful - especially during stalls and when hormone changes got to my emotions (quick fuse for a while).  I assume you are both going to have VSG.  If so, then good luck to both of you and get ready for a wild ride.  That full up hug is just around the corner.

No only he is having surgery but I will also lose weight as I will be on a diet with him and yes we have talked about what will happen with our relationship both the good, bad, up and downs after being married for 20 years it will be a great next 20 years.....he has always fought with his weight all his life even though he spent 14 years in the Navy!!  He has had 3 heart attacks and has a pacemaker,/defibrillator and so many other health issues so this a life saving process.  Insurance we had before heart attacks wouldn't pay for surgery but they paid for all hospital bills after his attacks, go figure..

We are now into the 5th month of diet, doctor and testing so anytime now for surgery date!!  Keep up the great work!!
