I have been an LVN for 19 years doing home health, I had my sleeve 3-22-12 so far I've lost about 130lbs but now at a stand still, I want to loose about 40-50lbs more but have had some health issues pop up and I am having to take high doses of prednisone. It is very discouraging to not see a loss but I'm keeping a positive attitude that when I am able to stop the prednisone I can continue on my journey.
