I had been weighing the options of surgery for about 2 years topping out at 243 pounds as my highest weight starting the pre-op diet. It was rough for the first few weeks post op learning to eat different, slower, and make lifestyle changes. But now at 2 months post op I'm down a total of 42 pounds and feel amazing!! I can't wait to keep watching my my body change for the better!! This photo is before vs. 7 1/2 weeks out. Facial changes at 2 weeks out!
