[olliesoda 174]

Approaching 10 weeks out from VSG. It's been the best decision I've made. I feel mentally and physically fitter. I've experienced NSV such as cloths, airline seat belts and comments[emoji6]

I'm eating fine and living life!

I'm about 40% of the way losing 60lbs. The piccy is before surgery and 9 weeks

I received my answer from Cigna in 5 days and they approved me! I am still in shock ... waiting on surgery date now

You look great. I can see it in your face so well. I have been submitted to Cigna and am now waiting on a decision. Fingers crossed that I am approved.

Before picture was 1 month before I began the journey. October pic was 1 month ago. Surgery was RNY on Aug 8, 2016. I'm down 72 pounds from my highest weight of 355.

My mom sent me these two pictures today--one she took at the hospital the morning of surgery, and one she took today to send to my aunt (who has also lost a great deal of weight). I can't believe how big of a difference it is at 3.5 months out! When I look in the mirror I feel like I look exactly the same as I did so it's nice to have progress pictures like this. I wish I had pictures like this of my highest weight lol.

Surgery: 8/1/16

Also wearing an outfit of jeans and a sweatshirt I bought in 2013 that never actually fit haha. Still a bit poochy in these jeans but they slipped on no problem

So this was me, circa November 2015, picture taken against my will by a friend, he sent this to me this morning, had no clue it existed.

And this is me this morning. I have lost 105pounds so far.

Quite the changes. Your looking great!

Couple of pics from 11/19/16. Had a early Thanksgiving with family and friends up in Michigan, haven't seen several of them since last year. Was definitely nice getting the compliments. Sometimes it's hard to notice the changes yourself that others can so easily see. I was actually called "tiny", which I do not ever recall having been described as. I know I have a ways to go, hoping for another 15-25lbs (least what I am working towards). I know now that at 200lbs., I am smaller than when I played ball back in high school many moons ago. Had a good weekend and it has given me a encouragement for the path towards my goal.

I remember feeling the same way. It was as if it were a surreal experience. I was excitedly looking forward but was afraid too as I didn't know what my experience would end up being like. But I must say, I've had a very non-typical experience overall: no food aversions, no vomiting, no problems major with digestion, and no surgical issues. I have been extremely fortunate indeed, but still taking things one day at a time.

I hope that as you gear up for this journey, you feel a sense of peace and tranquility in knowing that you are making the best decision for YOU. I can't promise you that it will be easy, but I can promise you that it will be worth it.
