WORTH IT$5,000
Just a quick update. It has been about a year. No regrets down about 65 pounds and 7 days away from some plastic surgery in the dominican republic (started another review). I could have lost more but I really do not exercise and honestly I am happy where I am. I am currently 171

6 1/2 month update
Sorry everyone! Life got the best of me. Bought and sold a house and left my job for self employment are among the many reasons I haven't had a chance to update. I am so much more full of life. I also had a stall for a good 4 months which is why I was feeling down. I was stuck at 195 for a long time. Regarding the stall do not get frustrated. Put the scale away and enjoy life. I was weighing everyday and then I didn't weigh for a month and now my weight has been falling off again.
2/23 surgery
Starting weight 235.5
Current weight 180.8
Down 54.7 pounds
Body fat went from 46% to 35%
Waist went from 47" to 39.5 same for hips
Chest went from 48" to 43.5
Thighs went from 26.5" to 23.5"
Pants went from 16 to 8/10 depending on brand
No more pre diabetes
Normal blood pressure
Regular periods (suffered from pcos)
I do drink soda a lot :-/ not to encourage anyone but it doesn't affect me. I don't do bread simply because it's a waste of space. Not being able to eat how I used to doesn't bother me at all. I still have the mindset that I can eat as much as I want but I am quickly reminded otherwise. I am aiming for 15-20 more pounds about 165 and I'll be happy
I plan on going for a TT and BBL around my one year mark.

Reading this made me cry. I cannot wait to get sleeved cause I feel like losing the weight is the most realistic way to conceive with PCOS. Such an inspiration. Thank you.

I'm very happy for you. I went through Trish & WLS4 Better Life & Dr. Jaime Ponce de Leon in TJ
72 pounds down since my surgery February 5th.
Probably could have been more, but haven't done exactly what I was supposed to do.
Tomorrow is another day and restarting my goal/ diet & exercise program. Yaay for us!! LOL

Wow!! Great job I would go back to them in a heartbeat. I'm not upset with the 54 pounds because a) I could have done better with diet and excercise and I couldn't have done this much this fast on my own anyways

A couple of the before shots look different but were taken within a week of each other well before my surgery. The after was taken a few days ago.

Well done, I think it takes a while for our mind to catch up with what is happening to our bodies. I went shopping yesterday and picked up sizes far smaller than my large ones but too big still, I don't see me as a size USA 10, or AUS12, but they slip on me with ease.
