Flo-grown

Hi all, My one year surgery anniversary is 7/31. Since surgery I've lost 84 lbs. Quarantine has not been helpful, I am working from home full time now and not getting much exercise. My doctor says I'm doing great in spite of everything. I'm in a size 10 pants size now. I'm pleased with my progress and I will keep going! Hope everyone is doing well, happy 1-year to all of my July siblings!! 5'4" HW 297 VSG 7/31/19 SW 266 CW 182 1st GW 170 2nd GW 135 "With God all things are possible" Matthew 19:26

Hi all, Just checking in. I'm slowly pushing along. I'm down to 194 and wearing size 12 pants and med/leg tops. The weigh is slowly coming off but at least the scale is moving. I've been working from home the last month which I haven't been getting my usual excercise in. I miss the stairs at work. I've been cooped up in my house it seems like forever. I have asthma really bad and cannot risk getting sick. Hope every one is doing great. Stay safe, stay well. 5'4" HW 297 VSG 7/31/19 SW 266 CW 194 1st GW 170 FGW 135 "With God all things are possible" Matthew 19:26 Sent from my [samsung Galaxy] using BariatricPal mobile app 3rd

Best decision ever!! Surgery was a breeze, my pain was managed with only Tylenol once I got home and that was only the first couple of days. I went back to work a week later. I look and feel great!! Total life changing experience. 5'4" Starting weight 297 VSG on 7/31/19 Surgery wt: 266 CW 205 GW 135 Sent from my [samsung Galaxy] using BariatricPal mobile app

I too wanted the bypass to lose the maximum amount of weight and my doctor felt I could achieve the same results with the sleeve even though I suffered from GERD. I trust my doctor and I'm very happy with my surgery. I have not had any issues with GERD since my surgery. 5'4" Starting weight 297 VSG on 7/31/19 Surgery wt: 266 CW 206 GW 135 Sent from my [samsung Galaxy] using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi, I have lost a lot of hair since my surgery 7/31/19. It sheds throughout the day. My doctor says to increase my folic acid intake and continue taking my supplements and follow my eating plan and my hair will grow back. I'm also taking e biotin and collagen and I use Viviscal shampoo and conditioner and supplements. 5'4" Starting weight 297 VSG on 7/31/19 Surgery wt: 266 CW 211 GW 135 Sent from my [samsung Galaxy] using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi, I was sleeved 7/31/19. I only told my husband and two sons and my daughter in law. I did not tell anyone at work as I don't feel its anyone's business. Every one at work knows I have been dieting for the longest time so no one really questioned the rapid weight loss. If I'm asked, I'll tell them I changed the foods and portions I eat along with lots of excercise which is true. Good luck with your surgery and on your new journey and whatever you decide to tell people. 5'4" Starting weight 297 VSG on 7/31/19 Surgery wt: 266 CW 215 GW 135 Sent from my [samsung Galaxy] using BariatricPal mobile app
