It's been a year...

[Dashofpixiedust8 1,469]

So it's been one year since surgery. I am so thankful everyday for my sleeve. Before surgery I had to be on oxygen because I was so overweight I couldn't breathe properly and could hardly walk around a room without getting out of breath. Now I can walk 6 miles and up hills without stopping for a rest.

I'm down 200 since surgery and 263 overall. I started at a size 36/38 (probably stretching it out) and now I'm a 18/20 too and 22 bottom (though probably smaller because of my extra skin...that will be gone soon though).

I'm having a panniculectomy on June 5th. I'm nervous but also excited. Anyone who has had it...what are some things you think I'll need to help me out while recovering!

I had a really rough 6 months after surgery with a bunch of complications but even with all of that I would do this again in a heartbeat.

My stats are:

Highest: 540

Surgery: 480

Current: 277.2

Goal: 199

Height: 5'10

I am almost exactly half who I used to be.
