DEZ1975 170 Posted May 17, 2013 Hi Everyone! Just wanted to check back in at 9 months post op to say life is FABULOUS! I had my sleeve in Aug 2012 and had a complication free experience. Aside from occasional nausea, I haven't experienced any real negative side effects. I work out 5 times a week with weights and cardio. I had a breast reduction and lift on Friday and I can't believe how amazing I feel. I started my journey at 5'6" 235 lbs. I'm now 160, with a goal weight of 145. I've attached updated pics, although they are pre breast reduction. So, now I look and feel slimmer. Anyhow, just wanted to share a positive, complication free experience. Dr. Mueller in San Diego is excellent! Good luck everyone! Oh and take your vitamins!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fattie 53 Posted May 17, 2013 What were the size of the girls before and after? I really want a reduction once I get closer to goal. Your body looks very well proportioned. Congratulations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DEZ1975 170 Posted May 17, 2013 What were the size of the girls before and after? I really want a reduction once I get closer to goal. Your body looks very well proportioned. Congratulations Hi There! I was a 40 E before my sleeve, and a 36 DDD last month, before my reduction. They were also very saggy and lopsided. So, I'm guessing once swelling goes down I am a 36 C now. Dr said maybe a D until I lose my last 15 lbs but I doubt I'm a D. I'm SO thrilled!! If you go to realself.com you can see tons of people's journeys and pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oliver's Mom 258 Posted May 17, 2013 You look amazing!! Great results from your hard work. I too am 15 lbs from goal. I have a follow-up with my sleeve surgeon in 3 weeks - I will definitely ask for a recommendation to a plastic surgeon! Wouldn't hurt to go for a consult! I'd like a TT & reduction/lift.
