My "so-far" pics.. nervous to post!



Recommended Posts

I'm going to attempt to post some updated sideways pics of me. For some reason I carry my weight from front to back.. pictures from the front I don't look much different because I'm not wide sideways. (Does this make sense?) anyway, I see a little bit of difference here. According to the inches, my butt is what has shrunk the most but my sister says my stomach looks like it has shrunk the most.. I had to change the t-shirts because the tshirt in the first one was just swamping me and you couldn't tell anything in the after pic. I wish I would have taken my pics in one of those tight work out outfits like others did that way you could really tell. Oh well. Ick, this is so embarrassing, hence the reason I'm not putting these on the main before/after picture page. LOL.

Crystal, no way! You must have had a pillow stuffed in your pants for that before picture???? Where did your butt go? And I can see the difference in your tummy, too. And you have NO reason to be embarrassed about those results. Keep doin' what you're doin', sugar. Good job!

Thanks!! No pillow that was all belly, ha ha!! I have been doing a LOT of crunches and leg lifts and working out almost every day. The only thing I hate about the after pic is my t-shirt in the back like hangs and then goes in because I use to have butt there. HA HA. But thank you so much!

Thanks you guys! you have truly made me feel wonderful and have given me that strength to continue on.. sometimes I get so sick of working out.. ya know?? But hearing all this makes me want to just keep on going... is it just me or does that t-shirt flap in the back of the after pic look stupid? I hope it doesn't look like a flap of fat or something. lol.

Nope it looks like your waist is too tiny for the shirt.

Looks to me like your butt and your belly are pretty well gone. You look great! (but we already knew that) Keep up the good work.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
