thank you for sharing your letter. very moving. i was so focused on getting to 'the day' (to have surgery), i did not take before pics, not even when i got to the hospital did it cross my mind to do it. i have not taken monthly change pics, did not take any measurements... i have nothing to show my progress other than the new me i see in the mirror. now i am wishing i had done these things... thank you again for sharing dee

welcome to the loser's side. i had my sleeve in august 2011 and was sore under my right ribs for about four or five weeks... i could stand OK, could lay down but it hurt to sit or bend over and tie my shoes. it will get better. i was a slow loser right from the start... until i started exercising and i didn't start that every day with commitment until december. now i am down 62 pounds at six months plus one week. dee
