I am an OB nurse and my surgeon insisted on 6 weeks off due to the physical requirements of my job.

I was very open about my surgery with friends and co workers. A lot of people who did not know we're afraid to ask. People Are now getting used to seeing me. I am always glad to talk with those who have questions I am proud of my continued success People will notice the more you see them and lose the pounds. Keep up the great work! -

April Sleevers! Where are you at in your Journey?
brennasmom replied to CandyCrushVSG's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sleeved April 29th. Down 41 pounds since surgery so counting 51 pounds I lost before surgery, I am down 92 pounds! -
What weight do you count from?
brennasmom replied to erika00000's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have the same question too. My initial start weight was 261. While waiting for surgery about 7 months making life style changes and doing the insurance requirements I lost 51 pounds. When figuring out percentages of anticipated weight loss I am assuming it will be configured by my actual pre op weight of 210 lbs. ten weeks out I am down 41 pounds and will be meeting my initial goal of 150lbs very soon. I will be setting another goal then. I am 5'4 and my surgeon's notes has her goal as 131lbs. Don't want to go below that weight. -

Accepting yourself loose skin and all!
brennasmom replied to amz85's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was freaked out when I saw the YouTube videos on loose skin. But I powered through it and am glad I had the surgery. I lost 51 pounds before surgery and am down another 40 lbs since surgery. Sure I have saggy skin. My husband doesn't care. He Is just happy I am healthy. You can do it too! -

What about the boobies!?
brennasmom replied to Sleevie.Nicks's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went from a 44 D to a 38 G (i was informed that a G cup was like a DDDD cup! If you have a chiropractor-I recommend you see them when you feel out of alignment. Weight loss-especially a rapid one-83 lbs over 9 months-can cause some strain on your body. And frequent body massages if your insurance covers it or if you treat yourself. I definately recommend getting fitted for a bra as well. Lots of changes ahead! -
It will come! And wait until people do not reconize you! Awesome! Hang in there!
