OOOOHHH What a difference nine months makes... (pics)
Ok, I'm a little late posting my nine months pics, but here they are... I've lost 107 lbs with 12 more to go until goal. Went from a size 22 pants to a 6, (ok 8) but I bought a pair of shorts and a skirt in a size 6 from Old Navy (and, yes, they fit woo hoo). I know Old Navy runs a little bigger, but I'm owning the 6 lol! I'm comfortably in a size 8 pants with every other brand. I went from a XXXL or 26/28 shirt to a medium. The sleeve has been my lifesaver. I no longer have sleep apnea (yes, my husband is grateful to not sleep next to a logging truck). I have Rheumatoid Arthritis but have not had a flare-up since 3 weeks after surgery. My life is awesome right now. I feel so good I want to shout from the roof tops. I am able (and willing) to do so much more than I would before. I love to wear dresses and skirts now. I wouldn't be caught dead before. It was just too uncomfortable.
If you are contemplating and are on the fence about whether to do the surgery, do it!!!! It was the best thing I have ever done for myself.
I know, I need to find a different before picture but I avoided cameras so there aren't that many of me before.
After:
Good luck to everyone else that is on this wonderful journey. I wish for you to all reach your goals no matter what they are!

WOW, CONGRATS!!!!!!!! You look AMAZING!!!! The sleeve has been a life saver for me as well, I am so grateful, and blessed to have had the opportunity and the resources to have this surgery.
In 10 days will be my 1 years surgiversary, have lost 83 lbs, and I am only 4.5 lbs away from my NUT's goal. After her goal is met, I still want to lose 20 more pounds, but we'll see how it goes..
Congratulations, you look great! Keep it up! You will be at goal in no time!
