Life is good!! I'm down 136 lbs and slightly under goal weight. I'm happy, healthy and turned 40. So glad I did this!! Hope everyone is doing great!

I had my sleeve 12/2012 and one of my biggest motivators was I wanted to look my best on my 40th birthday. My husband arranged for a day at the spa with my bestie and a gorgeous size 2 dress to put on for dinner which ended up being a surprise party. Life is so good. I'm healthier and happier at 40 than I was at 30. Anyone contemplating this surgery DON'T WAIT! As I've said several times, life is no longer a spectator sport.

The ABSOLUTE best thing I've ever done for myself. Thank you for the awesome compliments. If I can so this ANYONE can. Trust me!!

I'll play

Thank you so much!! To be honest, I've not exercised at all. I have 5 kids, a hubby and a demanding career. I think I must have good genes although I have plenty of excess skin on my tummy & legs. Congrats on your success.

I've had no plastics. Just good genes I guess. I haven't exercised at all mostly because I have 5 kids and work full time. I do have extra skin on my legs and tummy and my breasts are sad but nothing I can't live with. I will eventually get them done. THANKS FOR THE KIND WORDS!!!

Had the pleasure of trying this dress on for my best friend who is getting marries since the only sample they has was a size 2. Who woulda thought!!?! It sparked me to pull out my wedding pic for comparison. I hardly know that woman....(although she still has the same dreamy husband) Surgery 12/2012 Start weight 246 Height 4' 11 & 1/2" Age 39 Current weight 109 Love my sleeve

I am the Maid of Honor in my best friends wedding. While shopping for her wedding dress the boutique only had a size 2 in the one she wanted to try. So....she asked me to try it on. I've been married forever but dug out my actual wedding pic for a side by side. What a shock. I sure wish I would have had my sleeve years ago!! Love my sleeve.

TRUST ME!! I understand. I never dreamt there was this tiny body under all of that fluffiness. I always said "I'm big boned" or "I'm solid". Come to find out....I was just fat. Lol hang in there. I look forward to seeing your new found smoking body!!!

Well, today I had some cereal for breakfast (Apple Jacks if I'm being honest) and for lunch I had one piece of Hawaiian pizza. I've not had dinner yet and not sure I will. Might just do a protein shake or bar. I lost the majority of my weight the first 6 months and have been between 105-116 in the last 6-7 months. I weigh every day which I know a lot of people are against but it holds me accountable. I do eat what I want, just in small portions. I don't work out. I have 5 kids, a hubby (my 6th kid) and a very demanding career. I think I would have better muscle tone and not be as "skinny" looking had I worked out but I just didn't want to and since the weight was coming off I decided not to over think it. I can't tell you how much it has changed my life. My career is better than ever, I participate with my kids, I love going places with my hubby and traveling and experiencing different things. It just doesn't get any better.

Thank you, thank you!! Yay me!!!!

Did a little lunch time shopping and bought a couple size 0 dresses. It's hard to believe I used to go into that same store struggling to fit into a size 22. Losing over 130 lbs truly changes so many wonderful things. Surgery date: 12-2012 Starting weight 246 Current weight 109 Age-40 Height 4' 11" & 1/2 HAPPIEST SLEEVER IN THE WORLD

Never a single regret. Understand that in time you can still have your favorite foods just not a mass amount. It's hard at the beginning but I can promise you putting on a size 2 is more satisfaction than I've ever gotten out of even my favorite food!!

I was sleeved 12/2012 and have not slept without sleeping Meds since. I hate it. Still worth it.
