.......does it ever go away????I am 3 mos post op and wondering if it truly goes away or am i gonna be stuck with dimples forever ?lol

i was sleeved 12/8/12 .......from 258 - 171.....i stall ALL the time ....in the beginning like the 3 month mark the scale did nothing for 3 weeks ......but i went from sz 20 _16 in no time . your body will lose inches !!! im 8 mos out and have been stuck again for 3 months ........i wondered thru this whole process IS THIS IT?????? but sure enough, the scale WILL move eventually !!!! Hang in there !!!! before ..12 /12 ..........258 now 8/13........ dont give up ..........IT WILL COME OFFF!!!!!!!!

im 8 months out ...sleeved 12/08/12 ...and my fiance is a chubby chaser too. he wasnt particularly fond of me having surgery and kinda worried that i would be unhappy with excess saggy skin .......well guess what ???... he is very happy with my results !!! i am 5'4 and starting weight was 258 ....today i am 171 and am rockin my curves . where i had 4 4inch rolls on my back i am down to one and if i stand tall and stretch, i have none !!! Sex is sooooooooooo much easier on the both of us now , no huffin and puffin anymore . i would never "ride " him , but since i have lost all this weight thats my preference and we are both lovin it !!!.... i dont think yall will worry about your men ...he will be happy with the new you !!!!!! it is the best decision i have ever made !!!!!

I am a talker and love to preach about how great the sleeve has been for me !!! my heaviest weight was 258, day of surgery 228 and today i am 176 !it is soooooooooo unreal and yall will get there too!!!!Every day is a learning process and in the beginning its like bringing home a new baby ....so cautious and afraid u wont do right ....lol....but its a learning process !!! feel free to msg me your phone number or leave a msg and ill give u mine ......i really wish i had someone to talk to in the beginning and its neat to talk first hand to someone whose gone thru it !!! :)best of luck !!!

...................wow!!!!!!!!! HAWT MOMMA!!!!!!!!!!! u look awesome !!!!.........and big time younger !!!!!!!i know you feel amazing cuz u sure do look it !!!!!!!!

its been awhile since i posted on here but just wanted to post up a new pic !!!!I had my sleeve surgery dec 8 , 2012..... before surgery i loooooooooooved lookin at ppls pics and i still do !!!!I am loooooving my sleeve and feel just like a holy roller preaching to anyone that will listen how wonderful this tool is in helping obesity . i feel like a new person with a new lease on life !! hope this gives a visual .....before surgery i was in a tight 22 and today am in sz 12's ....i completley bypassed 14s and went from 16 to 12s !!!Never in my life do i remember being a 12 . !!!I am a photo hog now and looooooove snappin pics and lookin at my progression!!i am constantly losin and it feels awesome !my first pic i was at my heaviest of 258 ...3 yrs ago and today at 176!!!!......i am 5 feet 4 !!!!.....and yes that is a rooster my stepson is holding is puerto rico !!!! lol!!! and ..............this is me today !!!!

I really wish ppl would fill out their before and after pics ...and their profile !!!...it is such an inspiration to so many to get advice and good tips ....then when u look at their profile and see no history and / or pics its a bit discouraging !!!! ::: .....just sayin!............also when responding in a forum i find it helpful to know the persons surgery date !!!!

i was sleeved dec 8 and it seems this past month that i can hardly eat anything!just a few bites of whatever...doesnt matter what it is ...and i feel a heavy fullness in my upper tummy. it really discourages me to try and eat again ltr in the day . i used to be a huge fan of the premeier protein shake , but find it a struggle to even drink them . is is possible our tummys shrink even more. it seems up until this past month i could eat about anything ...like a lg quantity ...and now , im lucky to get a few ounces in !!!!My 20 month old grandaughter seriously is eating more than i am ! lol ! Anyone else have this problem?

this was at my heaviest weight ......257 lbs !!!! ...and this pic was taken just this weekend ....182 lbs !!!......my surgery date was dec 8, 2012

this was at my heaviest weight ......257 lbs !!!! ...and this pic was taken just this weekend ....182 lbs !!!......my surgery date was dec 8, 2012

wow !!!! i had to do a dbl take on the pic of u in a black jacket!!!!You look like Tom Hanks !!!! Way to go !!!You look like a different man!!!

................yay !!!!Congrats !!!!!Feels good , dont it ?!!!! i was sleeved dec 8 and started at a tight 22 myself and am almost into a 14 . i wore a 3x top and now an xl!!i know , last week was my victory moment . i realized ....hey ,being a slow loser aint so bad after all...it will come off when it wants to !!!Can u imagine what this summer will be like ????I cant wait !!!!!

i guess the feelings are normal , but on my end its a little different ! my fiance of 5 years and i are both swingers !!!He has always enjoyed "chunky" "curvy" girls and really wasnt too fond of me having this surgery. But now that i have and have shed some major pounds ....our sex life has never been better!i know about gaining weight .....since we met i had gained a good 50 pounds myself!!!...wait til your curves start poppin out !!!i feel soooo much better !!!!

I am 3 months out .it is a learning process as u go ! U will have a bunch of stalls along the way where u quit losing.i feel like I am at a stall constantly but went from a tight 22 to a almost fitting 14...3x top to a XL top!!!!it will come off!!! I weigh 188 now and on my surgery day Dec 8 I was 228.i still am never patient thinking I'm just gonna stop losing all together...and then the scale starts to move..good luck!

i am sure we have at some point thru our journey have had something happen to ourselves that have made us feel good. I have had several so far.I was sleeved on Dec 8 and have lost 40 pounds since surgery and 29 before surgery . almost 70 pounds !!!!I would love to share a few moments with you and would love to hear the stories of others !!!!!! 1) a few years back i had bought about 10 bath sheets , just because i love to have one wrapped around me when i get outta the shower, lord knows ,a regular one sure dont fit !!i will be pitchin them all soon as a regular ol towel is beginning to work just fine !!!! 2)i am a hospice aide ...providing personal care for terminal patients. i had been taking Fluid pills and would have to use this lil ol ladies potty everyday.she had a commode riser on her potty with bars on each side . everytime i would sit, my big ol hips would squeeze against the sides and bruise . oh... how i hated that potty but didnt have a choice! well ....i cut back on my fluid pills since surgery and last week used her potty for the first time in months . boy oh boy!!! my butt fit that seat just fine !!!No more rubbing of my hips whatsoever !!!!....with an inch to spare !!!! 3)just yesterday my fiance yelled to me from the other room. he held up my new size 14 jeans and said ARE THESE YOURS?????I JUST PUT THEM ON AN THEY ARE TOOOOOO SHORT !!!! it really made my day! considering two short months ago i was a sz 22!!! 4) a month or so ago my mom had moved the buttons over on one of my winter coats , it was getting tooo big .actually i kinda forgot about it and this morning i pulled it out and holy smokes !!!!!It wraps around all the way to the middle of my back!!!!!! those are just a few !!!Thought it would be fun to hear others !! here is a pic of me just yesterday at 188.8 and the other is last year at 257 !!!!!
