You look fabulous! I'm so impressed! I'm having gastric bypass in August, I hope. Still have one more nutrition class in July. Almost everyone I talk to is having the "sleeve" and have been a bit negative about gastric bypass. I'm going with what my doc thinks is best for me, but it's nice to read about your success as well. Additionally, most of the people on realself are doing the sleeve, so thanks for your story about bypass.

You look great! Have you been deficient in vitamins and minerals? I'm worried about the long term effects of malnutrition. I want to get healthier, not worse. Thanks for your post, very encouraging! :)

Big Girl Big Boobs! Right?

Nicky1985May 18, 2015
So most of the time when you see a bigger female they have a full chest. NOT THIS GIRL! Even at 250lbs I had small boobs. I became a mom before my surgery and nothing didn't grow or get milk. So going from 250lbs to 135lbs you can only imagine what happened. They got even smaller. Think of a nice round ballon now start letting out the air more more almost there yep. So now I'm stuck with lose skin and deflated balloons. Ever women has one good quality right?
