sleeve 4 me

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That would be funny!!!

AMEN! Thank God for sleevie!

Ohhhhhh my peeps! Not to be a downer but PLEASE TRY AND LOSE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BEFORE SURGERY! You WON'T REGRET IT! I too went a little loca and gained some weight after my options class between April and June and went from 216 to 221. Then got down to 204 the day of surgery from June to August. IT WAS NOT EASY but SO WORTH IT! If I had not lost weight prior to surgery I would not have made my goal. You will definitely still lose, but it can totally make the difference in where you want to end up...HUGS TO ALL!

Ya know even as a big mama I was always freezing LOL! I think the main con for me, is not being able to drink with my mini meals ...yup I think that's really it for me.

OMGOSH I forgot this one, and it's a big one! I eat toooo fast

I will have to wait until I pay off some debt before I do anything like this, but good to know how much I will need

OH MY LORD! I just got home and got a coupon card from Beverly Hills Physicians...coincidence or not??? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats! I love belts! There are sooo many cute ones out there! Have fun!

CONGRATS! You are doing awesome!

So awesome! Congrats!

My knees started feeling way better once I hit the 160's. Literally at 169, 168 I could finally feel the difference.

I saw my orthopedic surgeon in June 2009. Started wls classes through Kaiser in January 2010. And had my sleeve done August 2010. Had plenty of time to think, pray, research

That is GREAT if you ask me!

Welcome! Congrats on your upcoming sleeve!

I do not exercise I eat lots of carbs (but I do eat protein first, most of the time) I do not eat food for breakfast, I have a light venti frap instead I drink diet soda

You are so sweet, I haven't done it yet but if I had the money I would so do it now! Hopefully sometime in the future

I wish I could have one now ...I'm so happy for you!

Welcome to VST! and congrats on getting sleeved

YOU ARE AWESOME MY FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy to see that 1-5 lbs. (so far) is what seems to be weight gained for a sleeve patient. I am 14 months out and I'm still in that category as well. After Thanksgiving I lost any weight ever gained and actually dropped an additional .4 and dropped to 144.3, so far, so good...yayyyy! Thank you sleevie!
