Happy 2014
Dec 31, 2013
Happy New Year, everyone.
Seeing that 2013 is now in nearly everyone's rear view mirror, I thought it might be a good idea to do a then and now post.
I've been really lucky. My surgery went exceptionally well. I've had no complications and my results are just about where I want/need them to be. I'm not at goal yet; I'm hoping to reach that benchmark in February (which will be 10 months post-op). But my clothing size and measurements are beyond what I could have hoped for prior to weight loss surgery.
So, without further ado, here are Karen's stats, January 2013 vs. January 2014:
Weight: 237 lbs.-->137 lbs.
Pants/Jeans: size 20--> size 4 to size 0 (I have only one pair of jeans in that latter size, but what the heck!)
Tops: size 20-->size 6 to size 0 (again, I have one sweater in an XS, which I'm equating to a 0)
Bust: 45"-->34"
Waist: 45"-->28.5"
Hips: 47.5"-->34.5"
Thigh: 25.5"-->17.5"
Bicep: 14"-->10"
I have no complaints about this surgery. My only regret is not doing it about 20 years sooner. Thanks to everyone on OH for sharing their knowledge and experience. I wish us all a terrific new year.
