Hi All, I haven't been on here for a while, but it is good to see everyone is doing well! I had my sleeve surgery Oct. 20th, and while I am still not at goal, I have lost SO much more weight than I would have without this tool! AND I have had to buy an entire new wardrobe (Okay, not new, I buy second hand, because I am saving all of my money for GOAL clothes). I LOVE my sleeve!

Sign me up! I LOVE reading your posts, and I think you provide valuable and HONEST insight! I also love the fact that you exercise a TON! Thank you for all the info you share!

Thank you to EVERYONE who posted on this thread!!! I can't express how encouraged I am. A slow loss is STILL a loss, and I am going to start looking at things from a more postive perspective

Each person is a little different. I had my surgery late Thursday afternoon (4 pm), and I went back to work on Tuesday morning. I was really tired at the end of the day, but otherwise fine. I work full time and go to school for 5 hours in the evening, so my days are pretty long. My suggestion: if you HAVE the time off, TAKE the time off. Unfortunately, I just didn't have the time to take, and I need the money

Thanks for sharing! Great article

Hi sleeve sibling! Just a quick note to check in and see how you are holding up

Welcome to the forums, and congrats on your surgery

After months of soul search, secret keeping, saddened sharing and lurking on this site, TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY!!!! I just want to say 'thank you' to everyone who has been brave enough to post a comment or share a thought. I am not usually so brave, and these posts have helped SO much. Can't wait to take a walk on the "sleeved" side . If I have anything resembling energy, I will post updates!

Thank you!!! I hope to post so muchGOOD stuff that everyone gets SICK of hearing from me!!! LOL

WHOO HOOO!!! This time tomorrow, we will be in SLEEVELAND . Excited AND nervous! Good luck!

So I have been training for a half marathon (walking), but I will only be 11 days out from my surgery. Everyone says that walking is important, but I am guessing 13 miles, even at a slow pace, will be a bit much . While I know this particular race is a wash, when did everyone begin/contunie to exercise beyond small laps at the hospital/home. How did you feel?

Good luck today!!! Keep us posted...I will join you in Sleeveland tomorrow!!!! Prayers to you

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!! Only two more days!!!! I will keep everyone posted!

Thank you all for the advice, and the "tough" love . I KNOW this is the right decision. I am just a little taken aback by the some of the reactions I have been getting. At this point, I'm "all in" lol, but I guess I hoped for a different reaction. Thank you again. FIVE MORE DAYS!!!!
