I want to know what kind of attention sleevers get in response to their new bodies. What is it like, does it make you happy, mad, etc?? I am wondering what to expect (getting sleeved in exactly a month) I am recently out of a 4 year relationship, and being single is odd to me- I am excited for a whole new life. I feel like I am somewhat cute even at 240lbs, with a nice shape but 95% of men do not look twice at me. I know things will be different and want to know what to expect. Any and all input is appreciated. From men and women! Thanks!

Congrats on the weight loss! Thanks for the tips :-)

I am glad you are here too! I have never known what it is like to be thin, but we deserve to know how it feels! :-) Good Luck lady!

Hello all, I am a 27 year old due to be sleeved in the first week of Aug. Any input on excess skin for those of you starting out with a BMI right at 40? Any thing you have done that helps? Has anybody not really had a problem at all? This is one of my biggest concerns (besides safety of course!) Thank you all :-)

I also think you are doing the right thing. You and your child will be so much happier!!! Good for you huh! I am excited for your bright future!

I am having my surgery Aug. 1 2011 and I couldnt be more excited! I feel fairly preapred for what is to come physically..... But then my roommate brings me back down to earth saying things like just because you are thin doesnt mean everything will be great in regards to self esteem. So for anyone that has changed a lot on the outside, does the brain follow, or do I run the risk of keeping my "fat girl" mentallity??? Any thoughts are appreciated! Thanks

Thanks everyone!

Keep up the great work! I am from the Twin Cities and visit Two Harrbors often! :-) I am so excited to type that I have lost weight like you!

Thanks Ladies!! Its nice to hear different opinions!
