Ready!

I was sleeved 7/4. Down 40lbs. But I started at 199, low bmi.

Is better. Period.

Down 40lbs. I was a low BMI...

Wow! Good for you! I was too weak up until 2 months postoperative.

Help! I was kinda expecting this but my hair has really thinned out and continues to knot and fall out in clumps. Any advice?!

You look fabulous!

I was sleeved on July 4th at 199 pounds. Today I weighed in at 170!!! Started at a tight size 14-16, just cleaned out my closet and brought out all my size 10's!

Looking forward to single digit clothes size and a healthy BMI.

I started at 199lbs / bmi 35 on July 4th. Today I weigh in at 173lbs.

Sleeved July 4th. I've lost 21 pounds so far: from 199 to 178. Currently at a stall

I'm 5 weeks and at a stall! So annoying, but I expected this from what I've read on the forum.

I was sleeved July 4th. I've lost 21 pounds so far. Not complaining... But I think I've hit a stall at 5 weeks.

You look great!

I was sleeved on 7/4/12 at 199lbs. Today I weighed in at 178. So far so good. Still feel a bit tired and weak.

I am exactly one month post op today. Day of surgery I was 199, today I weighed in at 178. I Started at a very tight size 14. Today I am wearing size 12 skinny jeans

Hey ready sounds like me. I am 5 4 1/2 and at 196. Bmi 33 /34. I am having mine next week on the 5th. Getting nervouse and that is helping with ore op diet. Down to 193.

Hey patty,

We need to keep each other updated... We r sleeve sisters

Good luck to you!!!

Was it much more expensive where you are going?

$8,500 is the cost. I have family in DR so I'm staying with them.

I'm a low bmi at around 35. Surgery scheduled next week in the Dominican republic. I'm 5'4" and 197 pounds. No going back...I'm ready for his. Tired of the constant up and downs & the daily struggle with self esteem.

My bmi is almost 34.4. I am scheduled for surgery next week. I am self-paid. I am so ready for this. I have struggled with my weight forever. Long family history of diabetes... For me it's only a matter of time if I don't do something. I'm a size 14/16.... Goal is 135 pounds, I'm 5'4". Will keep you updated!

I have seen much success with lower bmi sleevers, we just seem to lose at a slower pace.

Mine will be on 7/19 in puerto vallarta with Dr. Lopez.< /p>

noelria,

I saw a previous post of yours. I too have a lower bmi of 34.4, not as low as yours though. My surgery is the first week of July... Good luck to us.

Oh no! I love gum!

I'm so nervous!!! How was your experience? Weightloss?
