It's been 6 months!!

Yesterday was my 6 month anniversary...I can hardly believe the time has gone by this fast.  This is truly, hands down, the BEST decision I have ever made in my life.  I believe that it saved my life.  The month before I decided that I was going to do this I had gone to the doctor and ended up with 5 MEDICATIONS!!  I had never taken a pill in my life and now all of the sudden I was on medication for everything from high blood pressure to diabetes.  Now, while I have always been overweight, I had never had any medical issues as a result so this was a HUGE slap in the face for me.  Stepping on the scale that day at the doctor's office was the other bucket of cold water...I was at my all time highest weight and it was so shocking to me that I immediately started crying...and trying to explain to the nurse (as if she cared).  Needless to say, that was the day I called and signed up for the seminar...and I've never looked back!!!  So, I know people want numbers so here it goes...

Total weight loss - 130-ish pounds.  I haven't gone for my "official" 6-month check up so that is my calculation from the last time I jumped on the scale at the gym.  I try to wait and only weigh on Dr. B's scale but sometimes I can't help myself...

Pre-surgery size - TIGHT 24
Current size - 12

Pre-surgery meds - 5
Current - NONE!!!!!  Just vitamins...

I have tons of pics if anyone is interested in seeing before and afters...

If you are new to this site or considering having one of these procedures, I say go for it!!! This site is an amazing resource for any and all of your questions and the folks on this forum are very informative and supportive!!

Congrats!  Wow, you look awesome and I KNOW you must feel even better.  What a ride we've been on!!!  You have certainly worked that tiny tummy!!!  It's just going to get better!!!

Congrats on the best decision you made. It seems like it takes forever to get the surgery and then afterwards time seems to fly.
Good luck to ya

Congratulations!  That's what started me on this road as well, more meds and gaining weight...again.  The fact that you all have been able to get so much weight off is proof that it CAN be done. I'd love to see pics, they've been a big help!

If you go to my page on this site there are before pics and then ones that will bring you up to current.

You've done wonderful in your first 6 mos, Janeen!  I can't wait to see what the next 6 mos and beyond has in store for you~ *hugs*
