Sleeved May 1st and I have already lost 75 pounds. SW 315 CW 240 GW 215. I have started getting the comments " dude you need to stop loosing weight" never thought I would ever here those words. Sometimes it feels good to hear, and sometimes I feel like saying " how could you say something like that?" it is amazing to me how some people don't understand how difficult this journey is to start and how hard it is to reach your goals. I would like to encourage everyone to keep fighting and reach your goals regardless of what everyone else is telling you. Live healthy.

Awesome. Good job and keep moving.

I have some of the same issues. I am still losing (70 lbs) I have a picture of myself before surgery and a current picture of my progress next to each other. I look at them every day when I get up, and feel better about my progress knowing that it is a new journey that I take every day. Just keep telling yourself you deserve to be healthier and happier every day, and believe it.

Well I started this jouney on December 11, 2011 with my initial visit. I did 3 months of weighins (don't know if that is how you spell that). I completed the requirements of an EKG, Heart MRI, Upper GI, Bloodwork during those 3 months. My surgery was approved by my insurance company the first submission on March 22, 2012. I have a surgery date set for April 30, 2012 at Innova Hospital in San Antonio. Once i got approved my doctor ordered more blood work and another EKG, now my EKG has come back as borderline ECG. Now i have to go see a cardiologist. I hope this doesn't set my surgery date back. Has anyone else had this happen?
