My starting weight was 290 pounds My surgery weight was 275 pounds My current weight is 119 pounds I never really had a goal weight... just to be healthy! I've been at 119 for about a year! Surgery date was 9/11/2014

I feel for you, honey. I was in the same boat! I am now 2 years post op and loving my life! For the first 10 days I was miserable and hated my decision. Everyone on this site was amazing and told me it would get better. They were right! It gets better hang in there! I found that chewing or sucking on ice chips helped get some water down and also, making Popsicles with the flavored protein helped me to get it down.

Haha, thank you Mark you look amazing as well!

You will get there Beth! I was the exact same way. Now I wish I would've taken a lot more pics to show my before. I used to hide from the camera and now I love it.

Everyone looks amazing!!! I remember when I first signed up for this website to see what I was getting myself into. On September 11, 2014 I decided to have the sleeve done. My highest weight was 290 pounds. My surgery weight was 275 and my current weight today is 123. This was the best decision I have ever made! Wish I would've done it sooner!

Yay! So happy I'm not the only one with "shrinking feet syndrome"! Lol I went from a size 9 to7 1/2. I am about 17 months post op.

Thank you

Hey all! I have lost a total of 160 pounds. My starting weight was 290 before surgery. My surgery date(9/11/2014) I weighed in at 275. I reached my goal weight of 130 pounds @ 16 months. Now I'm just staying steady at 130 pounds

If you are asking me, no i didn't have skin surgery. But I'm hoping to have a tummy tuck within the next year or so. I do have a little skin sagging going on in the belly area.

I haven't done a before and after in a while, so here it is! Heaviest weight:290 Sleeved on Sept 11, 2014 Current weight: 130

Thank you

Jamie! You are just the cutest thing!!! Congrats girl for all your accomplishments and I loved the video! Made me smile and think back at how I felt not having to shop at the plus size stores anymore!

Hey clasnic! I'm in the same boat right now. My hair is falling out like crazy. I told my dr about it and she said it was pretty normal for anyone in the 3-6 month stage. She said our bodies are trying to provide vitamins and nutrients to the more important parts of the body ( heart, lungs, liver, etc.) before it reaches your hair and scalp. Just a hump, but should be over it soon. I'm 5 months post op. She also recommended me to have blood work done to check my thyroid. So I'm hoping that comes back good. Thyroid issues can also cause quite a bit of hair loss.
