Pre-Op Photos

I just wanted to share my beginning journey and weight loss success so far pre-op. I started this journey in July and am scheduled to have surgery on January 21st. Many times I have felt discouraged because the journey to "my sleeve" seems like forever but than I realize it is just preparing myself and making me stronger for when I finally am sleeved. I have lost almost 50lbs pre-op by following a low carb way of eating and walking on a treadmill with some weight training. I was so happy last night when getting ready for my son's Christmas concert and I could wear a size 18!!! That has not happened in years--so for those who get discouraged put on step in front of the other because slow and steady wins the race !!

You are going to be VERY successful with this surgery because you are already committed to doing your part!!!!!! Once you have the sleeve AND are still doing what you're doing now you will be AMAZED at how quickly you will progress! And the fear of yo-yo'ing like so many of us have done will be squelched because you'll have a permanent tool!!!! I was sleeved 2/13/12 and had lost about 40# in the 2 yrs prior to. Since being sleeved 10 months ago I've lost 80lbs!!!!! Still have about 10 to go but am so thrilled with how awesome this has been. So I wish you the best of luck & continued success.
