Thank you!

Thank you. I really appreciate it!

And your right Butter. They are SO much more important than the number!

Thank you!

Hi everyone!! I was sleeved 12/5/12. Today is my Surgiversary. I'm 5'4". I started out at 227 day of surgery. I'm down to 151. My Doctors goal weight for me was 150. Although I'm very pleased with my weight right now, I want to lose 11 more pounds to get to my personal goal and hopefully a size 6. I wear a size 8 pants and medium shirt and they're starting to get a little loose. I absolutely love my sleeve and am so grateful for the quality of life it has given me as well as the health benefits. My primary care physician cannot believe all of the health issues that have disappeared with my weight loss (high blood pressure, low oxygen level, joint pain, asthma, etc)! I'm posting my before pic from the night before surgery and a pic my husband took tonight. All I can say is thank God for the sleeve!

Ok, some might think this is gross and I forgot to take a picture. Lunch was a bunless hotdog. I cut up a turkey hotdog and added mustard, sauerkraut, chili (homemade) and 2% Colby Jack cheese.

Bea! You're awesome!! Thank you for taking the time to do this!!

lunch today is brisket, rib and sausage!

REALLY REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU, NIKI!

MY GOODNESS!!! Great job!!

MY GOODNESS!! Great job!!

Oh wow! I'm so happy for you! I'm sure it must be a huge relief that they found something and we're able to fix it so you can finally put this behind you. I pray for a happy healthy future for you and keep us updated on the Addison's.

YAY! Congrats on being sleeved!

Well, nothing this week! Bummer.

Beautiful presentation!

Oh, that looks yummy!

How exciting!! Let us know how it goes!

Oh Niki, you've been through such a long journey. I'm praying this will give you answers so you can have a happy ending to all of this mess. God bless you.

AWESOME!! ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!

I know you're taking time to be with your kids but I just wanted to say that I agree with contacting the manufacturer of your drug. If they know that you will be getting back on insurance and paying for your prescriptions again in 6 months, they'll happily help you. My Mom paid a $25 deductible to her drug company's manufacturer fora 3 month supply.

Thank you. I really appreciate your insight.

It feels good to know that someone can understand. And your right ! Right now they do seem like "intimate strangers". My "new brother" (that's what I called him for a while) is so helpful and nice but there are things that are hard for him too. It's a process that we 're trying to get through. To make it a little more clear, my bio dad's wife of 28 years died a couple if years ago and he is still grieving for her.

I'm glad you're doing so good! It sounds like you're progressing better that expected!

Looks yummy! I LOVE avacado.

Wow! Look at that figure!! You look wonderful!
