Tiffykins 673 Posted February 18, 2010 So, this week marks a pretty awesome point in my WLS journey. I started my WLS journey with the band at 270lbs, sleeve revision at 263lbs, and today I'm weighing in at 135. I've lost literally half of pre-op self ! ! ! Just thought this is a really awesome moment for me so I thought I would share. I bought new skinny jeans this week from Rue 21, they're a size 8/9 and they are way smaller than my other 9's in the closet. I seriously love my sleeve. For those of you debating this surgery, do it. I couldn't be happy with my sleeve. I couldn't imagine living the life I'm living today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tiffykins 673 Posted February 19, 2010 Thank you all so very much. Today was probably one of the best days I've had in a really long time. Mentally, I feel so much better, not even going to try to lie that the physical stuff that is a huge pay-off, but the mental aspects of this post-op life is the biggest pay-off. I love each and every one y'all. I feel like I have a second family with y'all. I appreciate all your kind words, and thank you from the depths of my heart for all of your continued support and encouragement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
