Welcome baby girl and congratz on your surgery date. As the previous poster said it will be here before you know it. If you have any questions I am sure someone here can answer it. Good luck!!! Deb

Welcome Diane, My name is Deb and I am from the great state of Kansas. I am 52 years old with two adult kids and a 12 yr old grandson.. I am 5 1/2 months post op and have lost 126 pounds since I started my journey. I absolutely LOVE MY SLEEVE. It has saved my life. Yes, you are gonna LOVE YOUR SLEEVE too. I promise. Good luck!!! Deb

Yes be careful, I was advise not to take any pill larger than a plain M&M for the first three months. I hope you start to feel better soon. Deb

KUDOS for making your "official goal'. GOTTA LOVE YOUR SLEEVE. Deb

It will be all worth it. Please update when you are able to, so we know everything is OK. GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES!!!! Deb

Thanks for sharing your story Barbara. I love it when vets tell their stories, so they can help and inspire the newbies. I myself am 5 1/2 months out and I definitely can tell the difference in how much more I can eat from when I first had surgery. I still have about 50 or so pounds to lose before my one year surgerversary in Aug. Wish me luck!!! Again Congratz and keep on keeping on!!! THE SLEEVE TOTALLY ROCKS :D :D :D .

Welcome to the loser's bench. How exciting that you and your cousin were sleeved on the same day. Best of luck to you and Nick :-) Deb

Good luck and best wishes :-) I will be thinking and sending positive thoughts your well today. Please update when you are up to it. God bless you and keep you safe. Deb

YOU GO GIRL!!!! I know you feel totally awesome. Keep doing what you are doing becuz it's working!!! Deb

I am 52 and it has been 5 marvelous months since I was sleeved. Im getting my MOJO back.

Congratz. Well done!!!!

Baby boy you have made a very important decision, but one I think you will love. Please update when you are able to. I would be very interested in knowing about the facility as I have a son who needs to lose about 70 pounds. I will be thinking and praying for you. Deb

Hi Kim, Good morning to you :-) Sounds like you are off to a great start. I was 321 when I started my journey. I went on my two week pre-op diet on Aug. the 3rd and lost 16 pounds. When I had my surgery on August 17th I was 305 pounds. As of yesterday morning I am 198.2 pounds. I feel super and can drink and eat anything in moderation. I definitely try to watch my carbs, but you are so early out you don't need to worry about that now. Just concentrate on your fluids and Protein. Good luck!!! Deb

KUDOS!!!! Outstanding work. Deb

Congratz Pamela. I bet you feel awesome:-) THE SLEEVE ROCKS!!!!! Deb

Good luck and best wishes today on your surgery. God bless. Deb

CONGRATS. Awesome testimonial for the super sleeve. Deb

You look great as usual. I love the new hair style and sweater dress. They both make you look bold and sassy. Thanks for sharing and keeping everyone motivated!! Deb

It definitely depends on what kind of job you have. I was off for 2 weeks and felt good about going back to work, but I work a desk job. There are of course some no lifting over 5-10 pounds restrictions to following for several weeks after. I was back to full capacity in 8 weeks as I am required to be able to lift 75 pounds if needed. Deb

Ditto, Just table... no treadmill. Deb

I think it is doable if you are following a high Protein, low carb program. Which is what my surgeon and nut recommend. What kind of nutrtional guidelines did your nut or surgeon give you. My surgeon said the first six months is known as the honeymoon phase. Meaning you will lose most of your weight in the first six months. After that it slow down remarkablely. Good luck!! Deb

Congratz on getting a surgery date. I think you will LOVE your sleeve!!! Deb

CONGRATZ!!!! Best wishes. Deb

WOW!!!! Excellent results.Keep up the great work. Deb

Hey Globe, my nut and surgeon allow milk starting at 6 months out. I am only a week or so shy of 5 months, so I haven't had milk yet. But come 6 months out I will definitely have me a big glass of COLD skim milk. Hopefully it will still taste good!! Deb
