1 Year Surgeriversary w/Pics!!

Congratulations!  You look fantastic!  

Great job! and great pics!!

You look and sound mah va lous!  Your young so your skin still has elasticity so go ahead and lose as much or more than you want.....I am now 73 yo and had the sleeve 3 yrs ago.  Too bad it wasn't available to me decades ago..as I wouldn't be as wrinkley but I love it despite that.  I did get down to 125 lbs at 5'/4.5" and loved it.  Now I weigh around 130-135 lbs.  I know the 125 is really too small for my age but what I am saying get down to where you have always wanted and decide from there....you have youth on your side!

Thank you so much! I really can't complain about the skin and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat - skin or not. I think the worst damage has been done and I'd like to look into some plastic surgery at some point but it's not something I'm completely set on. I'm ok with not having a bikini body but extra hanging skin that creates lumps? Yikes! :)

And that is so wonderful about your success with the sleeve! So inspiring to me, who is not yet at their ultimate goal. 

Amazing job !

Congratulations! You look fantastic.

What jumped out at me when looking at your photos is how much straighter your spine looks and how much taller you stand.

I'm 3 weeks post op and seeing these is so helpful (and exciting!)

Given everything you've accomplished, I'm sure you'll meet your other goals.

Thank you! Yes! You bring up a great point and one I hadn't noticed before. I did have a lot of lower back pain when standing for long periods of time or walking and it completely disappeared once I was down around 60 lbs. That would explain it for sure! It's crazy how my belly really lead my body forward! No wonder I developed pain!

You look wonderful, congratulations.   

Outstanding, you did it girlfriend!  Now keep at it. You look great.   cheers.  Diane S   - a six year vet.
