My 9/10 Month CHECK UP! =)
SO today i finally made it to my 9 month check up... which was almost a month late.... i've lost 111 pounds and gone from 303 to 192.... wow... i dont even know what to say.... my goal weight is 170 so im 22 away from mine... today the nut tells me ive lost 65% of my excess weight... which would leave me at 135 pounds... not happeneing here haha... im 5'5 and have a large frame with 38DDD boobs... me at 135 would look disgusting.. ill stick with my 170 for now and see how i like it then... so to me ive lost 83% of my excess... bringing me to 170... so far so good i guess.... no labs this appt but ill have them at my one year and meet with the nut again and go from there... hoping for plastics shortly after my one year.... as im sure this skin weighs quite a bit... Thanks for all the support and great advice over the past year or so!

Oh My God you have done well...So fast too...Amazing!!!! Bravo stars!!!!!!
Your pic is so cute and it must be fun to keep up with that little cutie so much easier now.
Stories like yours are why this surgery should be applauded as lifesaving!!! You give hope...Great to hear it!!!!
Katie you look fabulous and your smile shines! Great job. I think I am starting to feel much like you about how low I want to go on the weight. I don't want to look like a bag of bones with a sallow face. I guess it will be a day to day thing...and MY goal, no one else's. \
Best of luck!
