Let’s show some love to Courtney! She is a long time member of BWLW and was one of the first people featured on our Facebook page (before we had a blog). She lost 186 pounds after having vertical sleeve weight reduction surgery about 7 years ago. She wrote to us to update her story:
“My name is Courtney and I have been big all my life. At 21 years old, I changed my life by having weight loss surgery! I had the vertical sleeve procedure in 2007. Then, I was wearing a size 28-30. Now, I’m in a size 6-8 and I weigh 140 pounds, down from 326 pounds!!! I had a baby in December 2011 and I still maintained my weight. I’m over joyed with the healthy me. I had the surgery because that was my last hope after trying everything under sun and spending lots of money! So, if it works for you great!! Thanks so much for your time!”

You are such an inspiration Courtney! I was sleeved on 5/28/13 and I hope that with lots of work, I can be as successful as you have been. Congratulations to you! You look amazing!
