Going on 5 years out

I was sleeved Feb 2012. Started off around 333 lbs. Got down to 155 lbs but bounced back up to 165 lbs where my body seemed to have been happy there.

Got pregnant in 2014, and gained back 70 lbs. It took me almost 2 years to get back on track.

But just wanted to let the newbies know that this far out, I don't regret for even 1 second having this surgery. I don't think I could have ever done it on my own from the start.

Now I have about 30ish lbs to get back to 165 which is my goal. I'd like to get back there by February 2017 as it will be 5 years since I'm sleeved and want to make the Bariatric team proud that I have been successful at this even at 5 years! :)

I currently workout at home and following a meal plan, and I'm loving the results! I'm almost 40 years old and have never felt this great in all my life! Even if you have fallen off the wagon, know that it is possible to get back on and get your life back! :)

I know I'm late with my reply, but great to hear of your success!  :) Thanks for sharing your progress with us!

I'm 39 from NS and have been on the waiting list for only one year. My letter came a couple months after my doctor referred me and I was told the wait time was 5-7 years!! It seems like forever. How long did you wait for your surgery?

Hi! Sorry just seeing this now. I don't check here too often :)

It was aproximately 5 years in total, by time my Fam Dr had sent referral to see Dr B in Moncton, till my surgery date. 

Feel free to send me a message or look me up at [email protected] if you have anymore questions :)

Congrats for taking the path of a newer healthier you. I am 5 months shy of my 6 year anniversary. Roux en y. From 303 to 145. Fluctuates up and down 20 lbs. but maintaining. Definitely a lifestyle change. But so worth it!  Best of luck on your journey

Thank you! looks like you have done awesome yourself! :)
