I'm sleeved!! and LOVEEEEEEEE it!!

Welcome!!! Congratulations on your date!! I think you will be very happy with your decision. As far as the joint pain.... it will help TREMENDOUSLY!! I had knee replacement surgery- and that was my deciding factor on WLS- I could barely walk. Now..... I have no pain. no heel spurs anymore, I got so many stress fractures because of my weight I spent almost a year in a moon boot!!...my feet don't hurt, my back doesn't hurt- I am so much more healthier!! G'luck and keep us posted on your progress!

I crushed my meds only one day. that was enough!! My doc said I could swallow them, so I did. Like Shontel, I even had to take osme big horse piss... no problems.. And she's right about the time released... they are NOT to be crushed. G'luck

I LOVE "Before & After" pics!!! Good Job!!! You really look good, and you probably feel better than you look!! Keep up the good work!

Hi Up2 me!! Welcome to VST! It's such a great site!! Everyone here is absoultly wonderful! I'm glad you did your research, and I think you will be happy with the sleeve....... I LOVEEEEEEEEE mine! G'luck to you and keep us posted!

I ran into a few people at work that I hadnt seen in a long long time......Some comments that were made to me.... * " Where's the rest of you???" * " If you lose any more weight you're gonna blow away." * Hey-"look at you- skinny-minny" From personnel ( we have to have our pics posted) * " We need to update your picture- the one up doesn't even look like you" She was very right! But I dug out my FIRST pic..... and OMG. I didn't know it was me...... was a SHOCKER!! I smile and really don't know what to say to some comments. not sure if it's a good NSV or not.....:thumbup1::lol0:

I'm not at that point at all!! But I have noticed that when I get out of one group of numbers ( 190 ) and now in the 80's... I take it much slower. I can't wait to get out of the 80's but am not "pushing" it that fast or hard. I have had people tell me I need to stop losing... but you know how people are! The big talk at work is my butt.... LMAO ( or lack of one) Flat 'ole pacake butt I have!! I'm really fortunate.. I do not have the turkey neck!! But I have also done alot of face exercises too. Not sure if that helped or not. I also have lost alot in my arms and shoulders, I use to always feel like a linebacker because I am so broad shouldered and big boned. Is kinda funny when people comment on that too. Say I am "gaunt" I'm not... take a look at the pics I posted in my one year make album.... you be the judge if I'm "gaunt" Honest answers!!!

G'morning everyone!!! Shame on me.. I havn't posted here in a few weeks!! I don't know what my last post even was regarding my Monday weigh ins!! But I am up a pound.... am 183 this morning. Congrats to you DeeDee!!! You are ROCKIN' IT GIRL!!! Congrats to all the new ones here too!! Have a good week everyone!!
