You look hot' date=' chicadee!

I have "batwings" on my arms. Were you able to loose in your arms too? It looks like it but I can't tell much in looking at the pictures on my phone. But you do look gorgeous. You should be so proud of yourself.[/quote']

I have loose skin but I wear long sleeves alot. Will have surgery to correct later

Awesome job!!! You look amazing' date=' you have a beautiful glow!!![/quote']

I feel so much better

You look great and so does your hair. Did you have any Hair loss at all?

My hair falls out when I wash it. I take Biotin faithfully and try to only wash it twice a week.

Awesome results! We have similar stats and I'm being sleeved on the 21st...can u share a typical diet from beginning to now? Would love to have similar results as my goal is to lose 100 lbs.

I eat what I want but in smaller portions

Gorgeous! Congrats and keep it up!

Thank you

Congratulations you look wonderful! I am much older but my starting weight was close to yours and look forward to having the same results although it may go slower at my age. Are you doing any exercising?

I did for about a month. I'm not at this time. I hate to admire that part. I do have a lot of loose skin that bothers me..

It feels like a big cyst

I call them boils. Not sure what the proper medical term would be. However, if it gets worse and doesn't burst on its own, you will have to go see a physician and he will put a pin in it.

Congrats! You look great!! Thanks for the inspiration! I am 24 yrs old' date=' 5 days post op. Starting weight (pre op diet) was 253.4 and today I am 236.8![/quote']

Keep up the good work. I was depressed in the beginning bc food was my comfort and I could no longer fall back on it! I promise you have made a great life changing experience! I wish you the best!

Eventually. It will burst on its own.

Sometimes, laying a hotttt rag on it will bring it a head where you can more easily bust it or it may burst on its own from the heat.

Sharing these pics with the intention they encourage someone about the procedure..

I was sleeved August 22, 2012. I weighed 292 lbs at the age of 24. I was wearing a 3XL in shirts and 24 in pants. 5 1/2 months later, I weigh 209, wear a 10 in pants, and a medium in shirts! Tell me who wouldn't wanna look better and feel better. Tell me what y'all think.

OMG! You look amazing !!!

Keep it up

Just a little encouragement for all you new sleevers..

I was sleeved August 22nd and have lost 60 lbs.

I went from a 24 in pants to a 16. From a 3XL in shirts to a L

You look great!!! What are your numbers?

Lookin good' date=' how much have you lost?[/quote']

Doc said only 34 lbs but that I was losing a ton a inches and that was great too

Both of these are before

These are after.. I was sleeve 8/22. Keep it up y'all! It's really worth it.

3 weeks post op 34 lbs down

I'm 2 weeks post op and my stomach makes crazy noises too. Matter of fact it's doing it now

I have never heard of truvia but I will look into that! Thanks for all the replies! I love this support group

I'm 2 weeks post op and I've lost 24 lbs so far

I'm 2 weeks post op. I can't get down even half the amount of fluids required

I understand that I am not to have sugar and drink sweet tea. However, if I'm drinking 1/2 sweet and 1/2 unsweet tea, where's the harm? I need honest opinions bc that's the only thing I can keep down !

Vomiting is a sign of a leak. I would get with my surgeon immediately.
