Thank you for your post! You look great!!!! I would never guess the before and after to be the same person. Congratulations and thank you again for your honesty. It gives me hope in knowing I could succeed in both loosing and keeping it off.

Thanks so much for the kind words, everyone!

It's hard to get on the internet and post here but I wanted to say I appreciate the responses.

And yes, my Shapewear works miracles. I don't even like wearing lounging clothes around the house without my shapewear on, because my silhouette is so different with it off. It trims several inches off, kind of like an instant Tummy Tuck.< /p>

Cheri, its so nice to hear from you! I see your sleeve has worked as well for you as anyone else! I think that's awesome you were able to live your life and still see such amazing results.

You look like a completely different person and you certainly look very happy and healthy.

Thanks everyone! I hope that everyone sticks to the plans that work best for them. I would hate to encourage people to slack! Sometimes I regret that I didn't do a little more to have better results, but I still consider myself a success. By VSG statistics I'm a success - I've lost 80% of my excess weight.

Dr. Aceves/Gaby are pretty sure I'm going to slowly reach my goal some time in the next few months, which is very reassuring.

And yes, my Shapewear works miracles! I don't even like to wear lounging clothes around the house without shapewear because I look completely different.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, and take care,

BAHAHA! Sorry, I had to laugh hysterically at that one. Those, my dear, are NOT my boobs. That is a Miraculous Push Up Bra from Victoria's Secret, and yes it was worth $60 because the darn thing works MIRACLES. My real boobs are sad, pitiful creatures counting down the months to plastic surgery!

Ohhh I feel ya. I posted the same profile pic as the one I have on here for my Facebook and I got a ton of suggestions that I had gotten implants. I was like OMG I wish. It is all smoke and mirrors. I have been threatening to go get a great push up bra from VS but for now I wear two pushup bra's and have those little chicken cutlet looking gel pads from Target stuffed in there ta boot!

Either way your weight loss is still awesome and you look amazing.

Don't know how I missed this one. You look really great and I LOVE your tattoo

Also, might have been mentioned in a previous reply, but have you tried Lactaid tablets for your lactose intolerance? If you can't get them there, maybe someone could mail you some? They don't work for everyone, but you might give them a try if you haven't already.
