Hello all!! I was here previously under an old username and had to make a new one because I can't remember my log in info (wahhhhhhh). I think it was YalenaF or something... (if someone remembers me, please let me know what my old user name is!)

Anywho! I was sleeved on 1/7/13 and since have lost 203lbs. HW:358lbs, SW: 344.7lbs, CW: 155lbs! (5'6")

Has not been easier. Been documenting most of it on IG but I had complications after VSG, including a leak that went undetected and turned into an abscess... which lead to another abscess... etc

But here we are!

And the surprise you wonder...?

I will be on TLC's new series "Skin Tight" that premieres Jan. 6th @ 10pm. (Ironically 1 day before my 3 yr surgiversary).

It's been a crazy ride but I figured I would share the news here where it all started! So thank you, OH !!

You are beautiful in all of your photos. But I bet you feel healthier and happier in your "skinny" photo. At my high weight, I used to call people like you "sticks." I'd better stop doing that!

I will be out of the country when the TLC show airs.
