Kimmes replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Progress.... N..............Starting Wt........Current.......Goal.......Lbs to Goal Kimmes.......239.8................178.6..........170...........8.6 -
Cleaned out more clothes last night.....I was told by someone at work that the pants I was wearing yesterday - "Gotta go" - I had them belted and under a short jacket - from the front I thought they looked a bit baggy but ok - She told me that "You have no butt now and your pants are hanging!" NEVER thought I would hear that!

I just noticed you are in Iowa - Cedar Falls.......I am in Minnesota and my daughter graduated from Wartburg so I am familier with that area! Let me know if I can be of assistance or support! -

You can read about my entire experience on my blog here on vertical sleeve talk. I had an amazing experience and would do it again in a heartbeat! I always felt safe and well cared for - my hospital and hotel were top notch. A driver picked me up at the San Diego airport and delivered me safely into the hands of Trish - Dr Ramos-Kellys personal assistant. From there it was all good! If you have any further questions please Pm me and I will try to help. Congrats to you for doing your research - you will learn the good and bad. The price I paid was $5300 and that was worth every penny! I did not work with any US coordinator - I worked directly through Dr Kelly and Trish in TJ - just my personal preference, and I am super glad I did it that way! Fire away any questions you have - there are lots of people with lots of valuable opinions here that will assist you! Best wishes on your journey! Kim -

Slowly getting closer to my personal next mini goal of 179 - Could make it by Mothers day! SN..............Starting Wt........Current.......Goal.......Lbs to Goal Kimmes.......239.8................181.4..........170...........11.4 -
Sending my prayers and best wishes your way! Just went through this with my mother in March. We were lucky - stage 2 - opted for total breast removal and she is now starting hormone therapy - no radiation or chemo needed. I am having a routine physical today and mamogram next week. Scared me enough to get back on track with my preventive care schedule! Please keep us posted on the course of treatment you elect. Again - hugs and prayers coming your way!

I have been working with a personal trainer 3 days a week and here is what we do on those days... 30 minutes of strength training (weights) then 30 minutes cardio. She/he (I work with a woman 2 days and a guy one day) both said always do weights first - and it I can only get one thing in to make it the weights because you burn more calories and tone more by the strength training. But I think it really depends on your goals -and the most important thing is that you just get to the gym and exercize! Here is a good short article on this topic... My link

1.4lbs - That's what stands between me and 179! Not losing lbs fast but - sure am losing inches!

Congrats! Heres to making Onederland soon! I know who nuts those stalls can make a person - I have had a tuff month of April - I am hoping May will be kinder to me. But always take measurements - because I lost about 5 inches this month - body is just adjusting - and I love it! Keep up the great work and focus on how cloths fit and how you feel. You are doing wonderful! Kim

Yesterday I made my modeling debut....LOL! We had a spring fashion show for work on business casual wear and I modeled for The Limited. This is something I would never,,,, EVER do before my VSG - but since losing 56 pounds I am gaining confidence! Not to mention it was a ton of fun! Here are a few photos.... One at the salon after hair and makeup (yes we were pampered!) The other me - doing my best Tyra Banks impression! Do they have a Americas Top Model for Middle Aged Women???? What fun!
