9 months post-op and 160lbs down!

I had my sleeve done 9 months ago today on June 20, 2024 and have gone from 366 down to 226! I still have a bit more to go, but damn, I’m so incredibly proud of myself.

I remember seeing the first picture and having an absolute meltdown. I wish I could go through the screen and give her a hug and let her know that we’re going to do it! I have been overweight my entire life, and had constantly felt like there was no hope for me. I didn’t want to admit that I should consider wls as an option, simply out of shame. But it was the best thing that’s ever happened to me and I only wish I would’ve taken the leap sooner.

There were several things preventing me from making the decision, the major one being my emetophobia (a fear of vomiting), as silly as that may sound to some. It affects every aspect of my life and having wls seemed like it would bring on the end of the world for me. But I made it through and I was just fine! In fact, I’m thriving!

Next stop, Onederland!
