  1. I was looking at this surgery for weight loss but the added benefits are great. My blood pressure improving so quickly is amazing. I love my sleeve
  2. I'm waiting for more Skinny Sex too. Great stuff
  3. So inspirational, but being able torun around and play with your niece got to love it!
  4. Hi, JessicaAnn I'm 4.5 months out and happy especially with the blood pressure that much improved. Congrats to you. This is a fun thread I'm inspired by your stories keep up the great work!
  5. I wanted it to be a secret but i told a close family member/ a parent. They texted the rest of my family cousins uncles etc. With my secret. I found out. I was angry to say the least. It wasn't everyones business. So, i found out that some people will share their fears and concern for you with other family members. This was my experience. You have to decide how you want to handle your surgery details. If I have another surgery like TT I would not feel a need to get permission from anyone other than telling my spouse. Lesson Learned. Good luck
  6. I wanted to start this topic for the longest. Something Fun and positive things that happened to me and you since being sleeve. I'll start with 5 things. 1. Can walk my kids to the park without being short of breath. 2. No more high blood pressure was 170/100 now 109/72. Yay 3. Skinny Sexin is the new normal. Lol 4. Off most medications. Had migraines, knee problems, frequent bathrooms trips. No more. 5. From a size 24 or 3x to a size12/14. Please share Positive inspirational stories Thanks for your support on this Journey
  7. Wow! Now that's a Birthday present. Happy Birthday.
  8. Wow! You look absolutely amazing!
  9. I actually had a stomach flu Started Saturday. Freak I was at home alone got to the point couldn't get out of bed for fear I'd pass out on floor. Like a 24 thing. Started with sore throat. Coughing up mucus. My son came home andI eventually got some sleep. It's horrible to vomit with this sleeve. I'm back to normal. Sipped on immune boosting teas. I sincerely hope you feel better soon!
  10. Fantastic, and well said. Also Totally Inspired! Congrats
  11. Starting BMI 41.8 HW 267 SW 269 CW 208 Sleeved 2/27 work out a little. Consider my self a slow looser. But I love it that I'm loosing. From a size 22/24 3x women to a 12/14 misses!
  12. I agree that there issues going on here that counseling could help you. Affairs are not worth the Guilt and is not an excuse. You could be left holding the emotional bag. From your husband and the person you have the affair with as well as your own stuff. And your husband could use the affair as leverage over you in the end. Instead of repairing the marriage. Affairs can damage you personally, a lot faster . This is my just my opinion!
  13. My highest weight 267 I was wearing 22/24 even started buying 3x Lane Bryant too. Now at 208lbs I'm loosing inches fast too. I'm wearing 12/14 pants and 12/14 tops. Looks like Belly fat may be last and a TT is needed later.
  14. My Surgeon asked me and i I said 145 lbs he then said 170lbs. Honestly I'd be Happy to first reach 170lbs my Surgeon's goal. Surgery 2/27/13 highest weight 267 Surgery weight 260 Current weight 208
  15. Welcome. Congrats on making the journey to start your journey. We are here to support you. Good luck
  16. Yea! I have been having my own personal summer. I use evening primrose and they slowed down tremendously.
  17. Praying that you have an easy surgery and a speedy recover.
  18. Be encouraged today. I was loosing slow. Sometimes unbelievably slow to me. At time the scale doesn't change for a week. . But when that happens I notice that I am still loosing but inches. inches matter! ! Why I say that because some times after a stall I go down in clothes size. Thats when size does matter. Keep up the good work. Each day will get better.
  19. I choose the sleeve because I did not want to go for fills and up keep. I also look and the complications and success rates withe Sleeve. Best decision I ever made. I Love my Sleeve.
  20. It does get better each day. It's also individual. Be encouraged and keep trying to increase your fluids waters and protein. Protein speeds healing. Congrats
  21. Wow! You look great. Congrats on your weight loss.
  22. I am so encouraged by your post because the othe other day I had some one tried to dig deep almost in an accusatory way. And asking me how I lost so fast. I will stick with not telling to at least I get to goal. Incidentally I am def. going to do a TT later this year. If some ask I will tell. Lol Thank you
