3 months post op and I'm done.

I think what you might not be taking into consideration, is her health, this woman you are criticizing may have been having bad health problems with excessive weight. Too much weight can cause Bad knees and hurt to walk and do just about everything, high blood pressure, sugar levels could have been out of wack and her hormones could have kept her so uncomfortable she was miserable. Probably also had trouble breathing when she walked or attempted to do any exercise. I’m sure now that she’s thinner she’s more active and feeling better, can breathe and doesn’t feel like a pack horse. Her blood counts are most likely normal and she just added yrs to her life.

When I went to my 6 week post op consultation ,I happened to sit in close proximity to a woman who had also had the Gastric Sleeve .She thought she looked wonderful - I thought she looked terminally ill ."I'm nearly at my wedding weight " she said proudly .I smiled and said nothing .She was the opposite of how I wanted to look .Her hair was thin and lack lustre , her skin sagging and dull .I listened in horror as she explained she was still trying to lose weight .I thought she summed up the very look I never wanted to have .Her slimness did nothing to inspire me .So I am 3 months post op .I can now walk freely , breathe better ,and I fit into my favourite jeans .I am not at my ideal BMI but if I don't lose further weight ,I'll be content .I eat more healthily and do more . So I suppose that is my story and I'm happy with it .

I with when you are right.. I haven't even gotten to my goal weight but it's ok.... The only problem I have is that I had to alter my anatomy [emoji2378]

That’s what I look like now and I haven’t had my surgery yet. Extreme Hair loss, dead looking saggy lackluster skin. I’m still hoping to be a little healthier looking when I do have it but this is kinda sad/scary.
