Great job you big loser! It feels great to know that you are getting your health back!

Favorite: when I catch my husband just looking at me for no reason, and he has such a great look on his face! Least Favorite: the sagging boobs!

Way to go! I knew you could do it! My prayers are with you for a speedy recovery!

You look like a different person! Way to go man!

I was sleeved on June 18, 2012, and I'm down 75 lbs in 3 months, but I go to the gym almost every day cause I want this darn fat off of my body NOW!!!!! So yes if you start now you can do it!

Whooo Hoooooo, the first day of the rest of your new life! Way to go!

I have lost 75 lbs in 3 months and have went from a 48DD to a 42C, and if I don't wear a bra I can always tuck them in my pants, lol

Amber177, this is just my opinion but don't over think it, if this is a decision you make for your health and for your children, then just trust your decision. If you sit and think about it to much it will drive you crazy and you will consider canceling the surgery, please don't do that! This surgery is awesome, it saved my life, I was sleeved on June 18, 2012 and I'm down 75 lbs already. You are a smart strong woman and you are going to make it thru this!

You guys can do it! I had to do 14 days of liquid, and I will dry heave if I even smell a protein shake now! But boy was it so worth it, I was sleeved on June 18, 2012 and I'm already down 75 lbs, so keep it up cause you will be so proud of yourself!

My niece died last year of a massive heart attack on her 40th birthday, and I was just as big or bigger than she was, so that event made the decision for me, you know that there is a chance of death with any surgery but the way I was going there was 100% chance that it was going to be sooner than later! This is the best decision I have ever made for my health, not one ounce of regret!

OMG you are beautiful! You can really see the happiness on your face! Great job!

I'm so glad to hear that you are doing so good, just take care of yourself!

Don't worry so much, it's amazing how the sleeve works, you will lose, I promise. All you have to do is follow everything the Dr says, only eat what he says to eat and exercise all you can and the weight will start falling off! I started on June 18 at 334 lbs when I had my sleeve done, and today I'm at 259 lbs, that's 75 lbs! I go to the gym 5 or 6 days a week, I do 30 to 45 min of cardio, weights for my arms and legs and I swim laps every other day. So you can breath easy knowing if you do your part the sleeve will do its part.

Way to go girls! This is the best thing you could ever do for yourself!

Hi, I was sleeved 3 months ago, started at 334 lbs and now down to 259, that's 75 lbs! I'm so excited at the thought of not being the fat sister anymore!!!!! Here are some pics of me in May of this year and one from last Sunday. 334lbs 334 lbs 259 lbs

I thought the same thing before I got this surgery, I thought I will be the one and only person that this surgery wouldnt work on. Boy was I wrong, I'm 3 months post op and I'm down 75 lbs, so ease your mind cause it will work!

I have had nothing but positive reactions, everyone is amazed at how fast this surgery works. The biggest thing that changed in my life is I can't get enough loving from my husband of 32 years, before I lost 75 lbs in 3 months with this surgery I would not hardly let him touch me because I was so ashamed of how big I had let myself get, but boy oh boy now it's a different story, and we are both enjoying the benefits of WLS!

Well here is my story, I'm sitting here in my living room thinking how good I feel, I just got home from my daily trip to the gym, yes I'm sweaty and tired but 3 months ago I could barely walk to the bathroom without being out of breath, I had high blood pressure, heart problems, back problems, swollen legs and ankles, headaches every day, I was in MISERY! I started this journey at 334 lbs and today I weight 259 lbs, that's 75 lbs gone forever! This is the best decision I could have ever made for myself and I would do it over again in a heartbeat! My husband has been telling everyone that he feels like he's having an affair because my whole body has changed. Here are some pics of before and 75 lbs down, I still have 80 more to go.

I was the person that sweated all year long, my husband and I fought every day over the air conditioner in the car, in the house, in our Sunday school class, etc. my hair was always wet, no matter what the temp was outside, I live in Mississippi and you know we invented humidity! I am now 3 months post op and I'm down 73 lbs and I have been freezing from about one week after my surgery. I now sit around my house in sweat pants, fuzzy slippers, long sleeved shirt with a hoodie over it and a blanket on my legs! My family still can't believe it's really me doing that cause they have only seen me sweat and complain about the heat forever. I love it! I will take being cold any day over sweating like a dog!

Hang in there newgrandmother, I promise it will get easier every day! Just try to get your liquids in cause you dont want to get dehydrated. This journey will be so exciting!

I was 334 when I started the liquid pre op diet (2 weeks!) and 314 on surgery day June 18, 2012, now 3 months out I weigh 261, that's 73 lbs!!!! I'm so excited about this journey, and so amazed at how fast it is happening. It is so nice to know that we are not alone!

Surgery date June 18, 2012 Highest weight 334 Surgery date 314 Today 261 Loss of 73 lbs

God did it for me and I know he can take care of you to! I am praying for peace for you and your family! Be sure to let us know how you are doing after your surgery, so we can welcome you to the losers club! God Bless!
