Thank y'all!!! Your responses defiantly help. I am 5'3. Current wgt 138.

Thank you to all of you. Your responses are much appreciated.

Feeling fantastic!!! Just found this pic from last summer when I was 204lbs. This makes me realize how far I have come. My surgery was 10/1/2014. I am so close to goal it's an amazing feeling not to worry about what I am eating or what I am going to wear. I am no longer embarrassed to go out in public. I am enjoying life and feeling good... I am trying to decide if I need to keep losing or if it time to go into maintenance. I need advice so I am including a before and after undie pic also. Be kind!!! I am at 138. My doc originally set a goal of 130-140. I had planned 120-130. But I am thinking maybe I don't need to go any father. Jut looking for some friendly support and advice. Thanks in advance.

Lol. Thank you, that is a compliment!!!

I feel good where I am but I have never had the appropriate self body image. I ne'er see what is truly in the mirror. Which sounds crazy I know. Lol. I feel so much better and I know I wear a smaller size but I still have a hard time truly seeing me.

I am also gonna add undie pics. Be nice please. Lol. I know my tummy looks bad. I just want some advice. I am at 138. Should I keep going? My docs goal was 130-140. I was thinking 120. But I don't wanna get too skinny. So advice would be much appreciated!!! The first is day of surgery, second a day or so ago.

Sorry

I can't believe Hershel is dead and they don't know what happened to Judith!!! Where did they all go?

Waiting anxiously to see what happens!!!

Looking for someone that has UHC with Optimum health bariatric resources. I wanna know how long the wait is for approval once paperwork is submitted by surgeon. Not even gonna let the word denial in my head....lol I have my 4th visit of the 6 month Dr supervised dt. next week. I should be finished up in sept. and already have a tentative surgery date scheduled for late sept. But it all hangs in the balance waiting for approval. Just trying to get some idea how long they take. Thanks for any and all responses!!!!

Woo hoo!!! Guess who is in the 160's? This girl is right here!!! It's amazing!!!

Before pics...I only took pics from the neck up before surgery. I couldn't find one single full body shot before surgery. Except the few I took in my undies the night before surgery, which LOL I won't post. They are terrible.

Today is my one month surgiversary!!! I can't believe it. Still feels like yesterday I was freaking out about insurance approval and all the crappola that went along with it. Today, I feel like I am doing well and progressing well. I haven't lost as much as most, because I started out as a low BMI'er. But honestly it feels pretty dang awesome. Starting weight: 199 Surgery weight: 192.6 Current weight: 172.5 Goal weight: 120 Inches lost in the first month: 12.75 inches!!!! Wgt lost to date 26.5lbs 20.1lbs since surgery. It is so amazing!!! I can't believe it. And I am so thankful for every glorious pound and inch. I love the Diva!!! She is awesome!!!

Thank u!!!

Our hair is so fragile during this time. Not only falls out but also breaks really easily. You may want to hold off on the extensions until after this phase

That's amazing. Looking great

Do you have a before pic?

In the states you get them in recovery. Ancef and flagyl. In Mexico the give you antibiotics to take post op.

It lasted just a lil too long.
