Anewme215 I think I got kind of lucky to be honest. The most exercise I've done is walking. I think my job is what toned up my upper body. I'm a hair stylist so my arms are up all day.

HW 246 SW 223 CW 114 I was a little weary at first, especially having had the lap band fail the first time around. But getting the sleeve was the best decision I have ever made for myself. I have never been able to look in the mirror and like what I see, until now who knew I would ever like to be in pictures?!

The older picture was just March 15th. The newer is yesterday I'm pretty surprised that my skin is continuing to shrink back on its own! I didn't think it all would!
