It's been awhile since I've been here...
Hi everyone,
It's been awhile since I stopped in here and thought I would update.
I was sleeved Dec. 28, 2011 and thus far have lost 95 lbs. I am 12 pounds from my surgeon's goal and 7 lbs from my own! I can't believe it! What a journey it has been.
When I had surgery I was a size 22 / 3X - I'm proud to say I am currently wearing a size 8 and even they are getting a bit loose on me. I actually tried on a pair of 6's the other day and they looked and felt too BIG! Wow!
I recently had a special occasion to go to and on a dare, bought a "slinky" dress I could never have even thought of before. It looked GREAT! I will post pics if anyone is interested.
I'm doing pretty well in the loose skin department. MMy abdomen isn't too bad, but the part I hate the most is my upper arms. Flap, flap, flap. The worst!
If you are reading this and just starting your journey, I wish you the success I've had. I would recommend this surgery to anyone who is SERIOUS about making the changes to take control of their weight issues and food choices.
I'll post some before/after pics soon!
