So it's been 5 years since my surgery. I still can't believe how fast it has gone. But I have gone from a size 26 to a size 6 and I've maintained that's the important thing! I am beyond happy and wouldn't change my decision to have the Gastic bypass back in 2011. I hope all you lovely people are doing well in your journey!
Thank you very much
It really is a tool and not the end all be all and that's the best thing to learn to accept! I had a few people go through the bypass a few months prior to myself that I know personally and both lost a tremendous amount but then became lax and gained several back. They are still way under what they started but gained a bit back. The true art to maintaining once you've lost is to realize you've made a lifestyle change. I changed what I eat, how I eat, and I work out 6 days a week! It's not easy but I took this journey to be successful and garsh darn it I plan to be! Thanks for the kind words and if you ever need tips or have questions I'm here!
I had a lot of loose skin 3 years after my bypass (2years ago) I did a tummy tuck and breast augmentation and lift with 2 rounds of lipo. I do have a strict work out plan but there was quite a bit of skin I removed. I plan on getting the skin on my legs taken care of next. My arms I think I'm ok with!
It wasn't cheap lol but not too bad! Took me the 3 years to save. I have my leg surgery coming up June 10th
Inspirational, well done
the very best of luck next month x
