What a difference in your appearance after your weight lost. You look amazing!

Yeah. People don't even realize what they would look like if they lost weight. Ones whole face can change. Your nose can change! Good motivator as they may not realize how beautiful they are.

I look older now when I lost weight idk why maybe it was because of the rapid weight loss. But I’d rather have an old looking face than deal with health complications.

[@terricolarusso2639]

I am so very happy for you. All your hard work paid off. People think surgery is the easy way. It is just a tool. You must change your life after and that takes a lot of work.

[@raeronda30]

AMAZING. I couldn’t imagine the work you had to put in and how mentally and physically draining it was but I don’t even know you and I’m so happy for you!

She's right about food tasting different. I noticed my favorite junk foods now taste too salty or too sweet. I tried to eat Taco Bell and threw up! I had been eating Taco Bell since high school.

[@Life_Is_Good_MC]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! It must have been so hard for you to go from having all you want to have all that can fit into a small stomach...you are a trooper. I lost 126 lbs in 11 years (since 2012 starting at 260 and now 139) and have finally reached my goal SIZE, I still want to lose an additional 9 lbs to be at a desirable weight. Now I wish I could afford skin removal surgery...especially the 360 tummy tuck. It was tough not to lose weight faster, but when you want it you want it. LOVED seeing your story, good luck with all you want in the future!!! You look amazing!!! xoxo -Mayra

Oh no! I get the nerves thing too, when I'm exercising and fit. Not sure how to explain it. Unfortunately, I still don't understand my metabolism. I seem to gain weight at the drop of a hat, so I haven't fought that☹️ Maybe you can talk to your doctor? It's one thing to fight to lose weight, it's another to come out with an eating disorder. Congrats on losing that weight! Go get help for the next stage of life. I totally get the nerve tummy, really. Take care of you✌️

She looks amazing! I just worry about bypass surgery because they have a lot of health risks long term doctors don’t like to talk about.

[@РэйЧехов]

Worse than obesity?

[@susanhampton9671]

Agreed. I think 600 lb. life glamorizes the process and does not get into the negative consequences. That is the risk every individual takes. Everyone does what is right for them. No, it is not the easy way out. Feeling nausea a lot would not be worth it to me. Bravo! to the people who do it.

I'm scared of the surgery.. But i should be scared of dying more

[@Mega07]

The surgery is very risky I know quite a few people that got the surgery and now they're hypoglycemic.... That literally have to eat every 2 to 3 hours keep their blood sugar up otherwise they'll pass out have a seizure etc

[@emke9326]

If you have no underlying condition, you will be ok. I did it and I regret not doing it sooner.

[@terriwetz6077]

There are other options, like getting a belly band instead. Yes, it's still surgery but not so stressful because they don't permanently reduce the size of your stomach and no need to re-route your colon either. It's like a big rubber band. You can always try a simple diet and exercise program with professionals working together for you, teaching you not just what to eat but how to shop, cook and how to properly exercise and when. You can do this!!!

[@killa520az]

@@emke9326 I have numerous outstanding conditions.. I dont heal at all. Takes forever for me to heal. Along with numerous other situations and yeah. Scares me...

[@MooonChild711]

I had VSG in 2006 and I lost 100 pounds in four months. I had an addiction transfer afterward and became an alcoholic (just had 12 years sober). If you’re very diligent with psych care and treatment, the surgery is your best bet. The industry knows exponentially more today than they did in 2006 when WLS was relatively new to the scenes.

Make sure he isn't drinking too much juice and soda. That is the number 1 cost of obesity and it's why I was obese, but now I lost 70 pounds (I'm only 17 in age). I think he would appreciate getting educated about healthy eating and drinking earlier because then he won't deal with excess skin, etc. I barely started losing weight in time before I would be left with significantly noticable excess skin. Thankfully i grew 2 inches during weight loss.

[@alisonf6478]

Definitely talk with your doctor, but I’d try keto type diet first. It’s the only way of eating I’ve done that helped me to stop obsessing/being so focused on food. And actual weight loss happened while eating plenty. Also meditation/mindfulness helps. I have a friend who had bypass surgery and had issues with “dumping”, and would not necessarily recommend it. Of course, everyone is different, and you need to do what’s best for you. ❤

Weight loss surgery makes ZERO sense. You still have to watch what you eat, exercise, and do all of the things you would have to do if you didn't get the surgery. All the surgery does is make your stomach smaller so you eat less. But if you keep eating anyway, eventually, you will lose the benefit of the surgery. It comes down to self-discipline.

It's not the easy way out, sir. You are misinformed. The surgery is only a tool, you csn still eat thru the surgery not lose weight and still gain. Educate yourself before you share misinformed assumptions.

[@Cy93]

It's not the easy way out you still have to work on yourself and every surgery is a risk.

[@WaitingxInxSilence]

It may have been the only way out. Weight loss the old fashion way takes more time, and when every day is a struggle, that’s time you may not have. With anything else, doing things the hard way is seen as inefficient or foolish. I’d take the easy way out by using a ski lift instead of climbing a mountain.💀
