9 months post op w/ pics

[GemmaLicious 25]

Woohoo! I was sleeved on August 26, 2013. As of this morning I am down to 182 from 289. I only have 22 more lbs to lose until I hit my personal goal of 160 which will put me in a "HEALTHY" bmi. I am 5'8". I was in a tight womens size 24 or 3X. I am now a size 8 or 10 and a size large or XL top. I am so glad I've documented everything along this journey. Here are a few pics that I'd like to share.

Wow you look FABULOUS well done

You look smashing! Did you require skin surgery? I'm looking forward to sharing my success story as well. Thanks for letting us know that it will happen if we follow the rules! :-)

I am only 9 months post-op so it is still way too soon to have plastics done. Right now my abs look like a deflated balloon. My back is loose, my neck has a turkey gobbler, and my inner thighs, arms and buttocks are droopy. I am hoping that as time goes by some of it will firm up but I highly doubt it. For now I keep it all under control with body briefers. I will definitely consider plastics after the 18th month. Cost will be a huge consideration with what I opt to have done. If I could do it tomorrow I would have the excess skin on my neck removed. Everything else I can strategically place within my Spanx.< /p>

You you really do look fab, I'm also going to pinch your idea and do a monthly picture.

As far as having further surgery I defiantly will do to much further down the line. Why not, the cost I feel will be worth it. Even though I've got a long way to go for the first time in my life I'm actually liking myself. I can also feel confident this weights coming of and staying of. I never thought this was possible. Totally amazing to be on this journey and am so great-full to not be doing this alone. Happy days ))

You not only lost weight, you lost YEARS off of your appearance. I am sure people who haven't seen you in awhile are surprised, and might not even recognize you. You are awesome.
