Hi Gang!
I just thought I'd say Hi and check in. Life has been throwing me a few curve balls lately, but for the most part, I'm still not fluctuating from 161 and staying the course. I was very close to getting insurance approval for plastic surgery when my Husband lost his job a few weeks ago. Since we were on his insurance policy, this has brought the plastics journey to a screeching halt. I'm going through some stressors with my job as well, so at this point paying bills and staying ahead of the game is priority one at the moment. I was pretty bummed at first, but I'll keep pushing forward and when things settle down, I'll start the journey again.

I'm including a before and after comparison picture. It still shocks me to see where I was. The before picture was taken the night before surgery after I had already lost 30 pounds. The after picture was taken a few weeks ago at 161lbs.

I Love my Sleeve...for me, it was the right choice and I thank God every day I got the chance to have it!

You look great and much younger!!! Hopefully, you'll get wish for plastics at a later time. The sleeve is a wonderful gift.

I have to agree that you look fantastic and 20 years younger. I can't see where you need plastics either.
Hang in there, hope your hubby gets a job soon.
