VSG on 03/07/14 with

I will be 5 months out in 2 days. I have lost 84 lbs. I have 26 more to get to my Dr's goal for me, & 36 to get to my personal goal. I wear uniforms for work, and I started in a size 50, and as of today, I'm wearing size 38 pants. In civilian clothing, I went from a 24 to a 16 or 18. My shirts went from 2x to a L, and before my cancer/double mastectomy, I went from a 42DD to a 38D. Without the boobs I can probably fit a medium shirt. This week, I have seen people I haven't seen in a year. ... and their jaws are dropping big time. I'm just so happy that I had this surgery. It helped me to save my life in more ways than one.

Thanks for letting me share. Have a great day!

So glad you are doing well! I pray your cancer treatment is going well. The fact that you are dealing with WLS and breast cancer at the same time is amazing to me in your strength.

God bless, Michelle
