X-Post: 2.5 Years Post DS - 230lbs down ~PICS~
I haven't posted here in a while mostly because I finished my Bachelors and got my Masters degree since I had surgery. I had been super busy. Like the title says I am 2.5 years post DS and I wanted to share my numbers and pics with others to help the newbies who might be lurking and looking for information. :)
I am open to any questions from anyone. Please feel free to message me if you would like to know more about my journey.
I should mention I am going to plastic surgery in March 2014. I am gonig to Dr. Sauceda in Mexico and I am planning on having a lower body lift, breast lift and arms done.

Huneypie - TY - Yes I feel like a completely new person. It is still hard to see the new person because my min plays tricks on me. However, It does feel completely different.

Hi Kat81 - I stopped losing way before my 2 years post op. I thankfully maintained and now that I had spine surgery on 9/10 I dropped 21 lbs out of no where! lol... So I am happy that the weight loss started again.

I just read your post about getting plastic surgery...have you had it yet and how are you doing? I hope you are feeling ok and healing well, you had some significant work done! I am also looking at doing the same type of surgery, but have only just now made the decision to consider it. I'm looking at about a year out, I want to put in as much work as I can for toning my muscles before something like this. Please let me know how you are doing and if you are happy with your surgeon!
