Wow! Amazing progress!! I'm totally impressed by the amount of weight you've lost and by the muscle definition I see in your after pictures! I hope you'll stick around and give us some pointers in the Exercise and Fitness forum! :)

Who was your doctor? I talked to a couple down that way before choosing my surgeon. :)

You will get back there Stephen, stay positive and you will! I used to be athletic and sporty as a youngster but "life" got in the way... right along with my big belly and big booty. But, I got my sporty back with hard work, dedication and a little help from my sleeve and my friends here at VST. :)

All the very best to you!

Hi Stephen! First, I think you've done an awesome job! And second, my cousin, also named Steven, was also a first responder on 9/11. I know how tough it was on him and our family after that. Good luck on getting back to the "old Steve"... you got through 9/11, you can anything!

Steven, you will get there. It's easier for us guys to put on muscle and gain strength when we eat like I know I did for years. I'm getting used to the slower, but steady progress in the weightroom with limited calories and you'll be fine too. Regardless of how much Protein we take in, it's impossible for guys with a lot of muscle not to lose some of that muscle during rapid weight loss. But when the weight loss slows down a little, you will see slow, steady gains in the weightroom if lifting and eating right. Good luck and keep us updated!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
