I had gastric bypass July 2013. My highest weight was 688 lbs. I am currently 273 and I am excited. Thee journey was long, but it was extremely worth it. I like the option of having dumping syndrome as this kept me on the straight and narrow during my journey. I was not able to work out like i wanted to in the beginning of my journey but now i work out twice a day as well as swim. Achieving your weight lost goal is doable even at a high weight like mine was. On August 19, 2015 i will be having my arm lift and back lift. I will post before and after pictures when i go in for surgery.

You are amazing and look absolutely gorgeous. I hope I can do as well as you have.I was sleeved on
July 20th, 2015 and have lost 34 lbs so far. It is hard but worth it. Anyone who says we are taking the easy way out, well I just wanna smack em'. This is not the easy way out and it is only a tool to help us loose the weight, besides if we loose the weight and get healthy what difference does it make to anyone but us. Let us know when you have your body lift surgery and arm lift surgery. Hugs Andrea 54
