Ill join in... 8/27/12-DOS- 223 Today: 166.4 Goal for 1st of Spring is to reach my personal goal Weight of 150-155. I thank God every day for leading me down this path. My Sleeve is the best thing that I ever did for myself. I tell EVERYONE that asks about my weight loss about the sleeve!!

Congrats!!

Congrats. Keep us up on your progress.

Congrats 75 is awesome. You are well on your way!! It really does feel good to be in a better place in life doesn't it?

I haven't worked out like I need to. I have walked in some 5Ks which is something I probably couldn't have done before. I do ride a stationary bike a little but not regularly. The hardest part is leaving food on my plate. I make very small plates and I stop the very second I feel anything close to full so leaving uneaten food is hard. Really no part of the whole surgery has been real bad. I would most definitely do it over a hundred times. My only regret is not taking this step sooner.

My weight on day of surgery was 221. I was self pay due to lower BMI and not qualifying with insurance.

Picture in green shirt are both taken one week prior to surgery.

I had surgery 8/27/12. I am officially down 43 lbs. I have never felt better; physically or mentally. Life is wonderful. Onward and downward!! One week before surgery 40 days post op and down 27lbs. 3 months post op and down 43 lbs 3 months post op down 43 lbs.

Good luck on your upcoming surgery. Hang in there with the pre-op. it is so worth the trouble.

I was self pay. My first appt was July 3 and I was sleeved on August 27. Could if done it earlier but I had planned a vacation. Good luck on approval.
