    Default Upside down pic!! Lol!!

    Sorry for the upside down pic...tried to post a new pic but for some reason it posted upside down. Haven’t been on this site posting in a while but have been “lurking” and reading posts. Just wanted to post a progress pic. I am a little over 17 months post-surgery and doing great! I lost a grand total of 172 lbs and have gained about 17lbs of muscle with weight lifting. 3ED2110C-5733-41EE-932A-2F9A2659F4ED.jpeg

    Most diabetics and/or people with sleep apnea find they don't need their meds or breathing machines after surgery! I never had either issues, but I'm sure some who have will chime in.

    Hello...sorry it took.so.long to see this post and answer. I had no issues following surgery. The biggest thing is to follow the rules given to you by the physician and their team. From lifting restrictions to diet, etc. And stick with the plan, it will work. I also had sleep apnea, high blood pressure which is all gone now.

    Thanks Christie!! It has been an amazing journey and so worth it!! This has been the best shape i have been in since I was a teenager. Weight lifting has made a big difference in my body composition. I have muscles in areas i never knew I had...lol.
