danieocean 260 Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) The pictures on top were taken today at 193 lbs, I'm 5'9, so it may still seem high but I'm thrilled. Once I get to 175, I'm officially at my goal. I'm sure I have at least 10 lbs of excess skin thatll eventually be removed...but no rush. The pics below were 2 months preop (so around August 2018 and I weighed somewhere near 300lbs). In 6 months , I'm down over 100lbs and feeling fabulous. Struggling with the excess skin on my belly and inner thighs. Any Spanx or waist trainer recommendations to conceal the pooch Lol! Hope everyone is happy and would love to see updates on my fellow October sleevers and how everyone is doing in general! Xoxo!

After the first week I felt a LOT better and by week 2, the pain was gone and I got into a nice little routine. It'll be so worth it.

TeeBeau 60 Posted February 27, 2019 This is truly inspiring. Other than the sleeve (of course) to what do attribute your amazing success? I will have surgery on March 12 and will have roughly 120 to lose to goal. And I want to do all I can to make that happen with the sleeve. I've already started working out preop so that I'm in the habit post op. Any other advice for a newbie? 1 danieocean reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
