    January 2014 Sleevers

    Ok, I'm not a January 2014 sleever. I was a February 2012 sleever. I am taking my mother and daughter to Dr. Kelly for their sleeves on January 17th. I'm excited for them because I know what it will do for them. If anyone else will be at the Hotel Lucerna this weekend let me know. I will be babysitting them and will be glad to talk to anyone else about how the sleeve worked for me and what I have learned about it in the past two years. Good luck to all who are about the start their journey to the new them......
  2. Nope, we are staying at the Hotel Lucerna. I'm excited for them. They will be the 4th and 5th sleeve in my family. My aunt is soon to follow as #6. My grandparents are also considering the sleeve which would make 8 sleeves in my family.
  3. I'm not having surgery. I had it two years ago feb 7th. I am bringing my 15 year old daughter and my mother to Dr. Kelly on the 17th. I'm excited for them and whar the future holds for them. Good luck to the rest of you. Your lives will be changed for the better. I would have the sleeve done again in a heartbeat.
  4. I had the sleeve, gallbladder and hernia surgery all at the same time.... They had me blown up like a balloon for about four hours!!! I can't compare to any other surgeries but the gas pain was awful!!! I'm the kind of guy who has broken an ankle and just laced my boot up tighter and went to work. Pain never really bothered me until this gas crap they inflated me with.... I was walking around the hospital within minutes of waking up because they told me it would help.... Kinda embarrassing though due to the amount of gas that worked its way out my rear. I just wanted it out!!!
  5. I just want to say congrats to everyone!!! The sleeve rocks and y'all are rocking the sleeve!!!
  6. Great Job.... You look amazing!

    out of ideas

    One bite at a time and slowly.... I had my surgery on 2/7 and I went out with my wife on valentines day at a friends restaurant and he made me scrambled eggs.... They rocked.

    I think everyone has that feeling in the beginning even if they won't admit it. I did. I gets better. I had to eat scrambled eggs a week after my surgery because everything else was horrible. Now I eat and drink anything I want. There's no going back so look to the future. This will all be a distant memory soon.....

    how long will this stall last?

    For me it was like I would lose weight then stall as I lost inches... It's like I lost fat and then my remaining fat moved around before losing more??? It's not scientific but that's what it seemed to me.... You will lose just give it some time.... 126 lost and very happy. I had many stalls though!!!
  13. The mobile app doesn't show all those options... I was 370 then 350 day of surgery and am 244 now... I'm 6'3" and large frame so I'm about done... I had my surgery on 2/7/12

    brain overload

    It is worth it.... The only people I found that had a problem with my surgery were others who were also fat and didn't have the courage to have the surgery..... I would have the surgery again in a heartbeat..... It is a life changing experience in a good way. You have no idea what you are missing until you start shedding those pounds and can do things you never thought you could do..... Go for it and good luck!!!!!!!
