I am 5'7" and weighed 335 on surgery day and I had laposcop surgery with NO complications what so ever. I have lost 83 pounds since starting this journey. It is totally possible for your sister if she can find a good qualified surgeon.

I just turned 49 and was really worried I would have lots of wrinkles but to my amazement I don't. People tell me I look younger now. Hopefully you'll be the same.

I was sleeved 3/19 and have lost 83 which is only about half of what I need to lose. I think it will slow down as you get closer to goal weight. Have you added exercise into your schedule?

Chewable centrum is the way to go, have had no problems with it.

I have mine ticked away for now. I am almost at my halfway point and don't want to size it more than once. When I was pregnant with the twins I had to have it cut off and then repaired and resized up. Not sure how much they can take. I wear a different ring now in its place untill I feel comfortable enough to have them size mine.

Good for you! I can't believe how much better I feel. I seem to walk taller, smile more, make eye contact now with people and cross my legs whenever I can. I love this new life.

Isn't that a great feeling? Keep up the good work!

Nate, that is so awesome! Keep up the good work. You will feel so much better every pound that comes off. Congrats!

Hey sleeve sista...how are you doin?

BigCraig...you are down 160 pounds since this March? Holy Crap Batman! You are d'man!

Congrats! You are doing great!!! I too know this feeling, started in march at 358 and today at 278. Can't wait for the next 80 pounds to come rolling off! Keep up the good work!

I love this! I can't wait to actually weigh what my license says and when it expires I'll be able to turn that number down and get rid of that fat girl in the picture.

Thanks to everyone, I think I will wait. My mother is a watercolor artist and I'm going to have her come up with a floral design that they can duplicate so that way i'll always have a piece of her with me. I appreciate everyone's response.

I had told myself that my reward for reaching 100 pound weight loss was to finally get a tattoo. I'm getting close to that goal and am getting excited. I am getting a small one on my back over the right shoulder blade. My concern is that I still have another 100 pounds to go and am worried it could change the shape of look of the tattoo. Suggestions or comments??? Please!?!
