Hello all! I'm 32 mother of one! Weight has always been my obstacle however I have always been able to control it with diet and excercise.

After having my son I am unable to lose the weight I put on --- I'm still 40 lbs heavy from before I got pregnant and 60 lbs away from my goal weight. I recently saw a specialist who said I was an ideal candidate for gastric bypass --- I weigh 195 and am 5'1" --- I have no health issues except the weight I carry -- looking dr someone in a similar body weight and height who has gone through this!!!

You are my twin :) I'm 5 foot & started at 211 I want you to look at my photo & see if you want to Be as small as me. My intentions wasn't to be tiny in fact I just didn't want to be a plus size woman. I think I'm at the right weight now should be 122(haven't weight last week) I want more meat on my face.

Mami, that's funny. My original intention was not to be as small as you, but I may turn out that way. I told my surgeon I would be happy at 150 and he's like "no no no no no" we can do better!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
