I haven't done a full body photo, but that will be soon to come. Here is a head shot. I will be six months postop on the 23rd. My trainer took my measurements two weeks ago and I was down 48 lbs and 17 inches overall. I'm feeling great about myself and ever so thankful for this surgery. No regrets.
I am super excited. I will be starting with a personal trainer on Monday. She's a nutritionist and a bodybuilder, she trains bodybuilders, and does boot camps.

I'm not expecting bodybuilder results, but with her help I feel that I will definitely be in better condition than I am now. I will keep you all posted.
I was sleeved on the 23rd. The doctor is keeping me in the hospital for another night because my intake isn't where it should be before going home. I've had a lot of nausea and dry heaving. Not too much pain and I've been getting up and walking. I want to thank all of you who sent me well wishes and kept me in your prayers. I really appreciate it. The surgery went very well overall.

She had nothing but raving reviews of the surgeon doing my surgery (as I had heard nothing but good things anyway) and she will be helping to take care of me that night. I anticipate

I wish my family were more excited for me though. My mother I believe was hoping I would not get approved. I was and am getting sick of telling people that
