Sabrina K - 6 Month Update*

Hey JoAnne! All is very well!! I'm loving my progress. As of this morning, I have officially lost 72lbs. I'm at a weight now that I honestly never remember being at. Anxiously waiting and trying to get even more off. It's so crazy how amazing losing just a little bit of weight can make you feel. I feel so much better. I Was able to take a vacation with my family this summer and I just honestly and truly enjoyed this vacation for the first time- never out of breath, could handle the heat better. It was just amazing. I've been taking my vitamins daily and I'm lucky to have a close friend that owns an IV bar so I've been able to get a few of their vitamin IVs as well. It's still a learning process on some things I can or can't eat and I'm still having to work back up my strength (I need to exercise more). But overall, everything is GREAT! I would do it all over again 1,000 times- just wish I could have done it sooner.The left was at Christmas and the right is when we were on our vacation for July 4th. Everyone tells me they can see how happy I am on my smile now. But it's because I am. I truly feel like a new person. And thank y'all for changing my life! Have a blessed day!

Lane S - 5 year Update*

I am not certain exactly on my weight loss. I was over 300, probably around 310 by the time I had surgery.  I lost down to 165 and it was just too thin. I moved it gradually back to 180.  Now I hover between 175 and 180 and I'm happy with this. So I lost 135 at least initially.  My blood sugar issues have been under control with no meds since.

Hello Joanne! I'm doing great! I lost a total of 75 pounds and I am just maintaining. I'm happy where I'm at. I wanted to lose more, I hit a plateau stopped losing weight, life got busy but I was okay with where I was. I finally was able to catch my breath and started working out again so I'm hoping I can lose the 10-15 pounds on my own now. I never did this to be a super skinny or a size 2, I just wanted to be comfortable and confident and I finally am.

Hello!! I'm doing good. I hit my lowest weight probably 9 months after surgery. It was around 125. I've actually been worried about regain and im totally off track. I'm 146 now but I'm actually trying out a juice cleanse this week. And then figured I can go back to basics and portion control after. I will. I just need to cut out sofa, tea, sugar, and watch my carbs and bread intake and I should be ok to hit my goal by September. But gosh looking at my old photos is definitely a motivator.
