8 Months Out

[KaitlynnHughes 9]

Just a quick update....

I am now 8 months post op and I am down 115lbs! I went from a size 4x top and 26/28 pants down to a large top and size 12 pants! And actually at work I fit into medium scrubs!!! I feel as though I've been given a second chance at life! I'm going through a divorce (and please no I'm sorry's it's the best thing to happen to me since this surgery) and I give all of my newfound self esteem and courage to my sleeve! It helped me find myself! And the best part is...I get to experience dating after my divorce is final!!! Lol

Keep it up everyone!! PM me if you have any questions!!!!

Wow congratulations! I am 2months since surgery and down 40lbs. Did you have any problems at all in the earlier months?

[KaitlynnHughes 9]

Thanks! Yea I actually had an emergency surgery 1 month out! My staple line opened and I had one hell of a leak! But since then it has been smooth sailing! I hit my surgeons goal in January and I'd still like to lose 30 more pounds!

Congratulations on a stunning transformation!! Lookin' healthy and happy. You're going to be a hottie for the dating world. Congrats on your divorce. You sound like you want the divorce and it's a positive thing, and I have been divorced before so I know that getting one can be liberating. Wishing you all of the best!!

Keep it up!
