Thank you babe! I hope that by sharing my story, I can be an inspiration to others who are on this journey. Because I know it is a long and difficult road but we are all on it together. When I was struggling, it helped me so much to see people who have made it. I never really believed I would make it to where I am now. It is still weird to think of myself as a skinny person. I have never been skinny before! It is an amazing feeling and I am so happy with my body. I hope you have much success and the same for everyone. We all deserve to feel this good.

What a wonderful story. You must be so proud of yourself. I am so proud of you, and I know I am close too. I have to update my pic... they are like 30 lbs ago. I am closing in. 40 to go, and then skin be gone. Keep the pics coming. You look awesome and your good spirit shines through it all!

Thank you! I feel like a new woman. People talk about me and how attractive I am where before they wouldn't even look at me. People keep wanting to set me up because of my recent divorce and they say I am too pretty to be single haha. My surgeon is truly incredible and I cannot imagine getting better results. He knew what I wanted when I wasn't even sure myself. I was so scared that it wouldn't be exactly what I wanted and it came out perfect! The man is a genius, an artist and just brilliant. I am staying steady at my goal weight now with very little difficulty. I am actually still loosing weight which is not good as I do not want to get sick. But as of now, I am at the ideal weight for my height. I love being able to dress up sexy and go out and to run with my baby on the park and actually have energy! I really do feel like a different person just ad I look like a different person. This sleeve has been a life saver for me. I was do depressed before and now it is like the world is mine for the taking. Good luck a d keep me updated on your progress!

Hey, Thanks for the info! yes, I hope I am as happy as you. I am thrilled with the sleeve for sure! Your surgeon did do a great job! I will certainly consider him. I am going to check out some in my home town as well, but may have to travel if they are charging too much. I have a quote from Mexico for arms, tummy and face for $9,000. So I might venture back down there, as I had great luck with my sleeve in Mexico with Dr. Garcia. You look like a new woman! Power to ya girl.

My surgeon was Dr. Ary Krau of Bal Harbour, FL and he is simply amazing. He is the sweetest guy and so talented. I cannot believe how he transformed my body. I am so skinny now and I have no tummy and my breasts are perky and just the right size for my body. I am so so happy. And he gave me the best deal in Miami, $11,000 for a full mmo when every other surgeon I met wanted around $40k! I am so happy I chose him. He is amazing. And I love the way I look! It's been almost 4 months now since my makeover and I feel and look fantastic! Good luck to you with your remaining weight loss and your makeover! I hope you are as happy as I am when it is all over!

Thanks for sharing such great pics. What a transformation. Fantastic job and your mommy makeover was a huge success. Mine is coming up end of summer. I have 40lbs to go...but started much higher than you with 175 lbs to lose. Who did your mommy makeover and how much did they charge you?

I have my mommy makeover scheduled for this coming Thursday, Dec. 27th! I am doing a tummy tuck and breast lift with small implants. I really don't have much extra skin on my arms and legs, luckily; just the little belly pouch and saggy boobs hehe. I have been stuck for a long time at 2 or 3 lbs away from my goal weight and today I stepped on the scale and saw 124.8 (goal was 125)! I am so happy I reached my goal before surgery! I am now wanting to get down to 120 and stay there.

well, so happy for you! I am also planning some skin removal... arms, neck, thighs, boobs and tummy! I hope all goes well with your marriage! Sounds like the sleeve has done wonders for you in many many ways! fantastic.

I love the responses from people. I especially love the attention I get from men! My husband went crazy when he saw me; couldn't get his hands on me fast enough! Seeing him for the first time after a year was like the beginning of our relationship. He went out of his way to please me. It was so nice. When I filed for the divorce he cried and said he wants to die and life is not worth living without me. I told him to get off his ass and win me back because I still love that dope haha. My daughter does not really say much but she has said mommy has no tummy haha. And my mother who was also sleeved says that I am heading in the direction of anorexia. She is jealous that I have passed her by nearly 40lbs. And she cannot seem to get a handle on her weight gain which is a shame. It has now been a year since my sleeve and I am about 2 pounds from my final goal weight. Now I am looking into doing a mommy makeover. My boobs are small and saggy and my tummy needs to be fixed too! I am excited!

I bet your ex is going a little mad now too seeing all these changes in you. What has been his response to all this? What about your daughter... i know she is young, but what is she noticing?

Oh, and I bet your ex is really going mad now!!!! what has his response been?

Ya isn't funny how society acts so differently to us now! I'm turning heads now whereas before I got looks fo disgust! I remember people huffing and puffing when they had to sit next to me on a plane and leaned away from me like i had leprosey. Now they sit next to me, smile and want to jabber the whole way on a flight and the guys in particular light up. Kinda pisses me off, because i was the same person fat too.... but that is the reality, and so i just enjoy now like you. Keep on rocking that sleeve and those great outfits.

Thank you! I feel so sexy! My eyes have been opened to a whole new world! I never knew how different life was for pretty girls and now I am one!

woo hoo... you go girl!!
