Mrs_Ashley

Thank you so much Ms. Kathy! P.S I love reading your post you among others have helped and giving me so much hope during my journey!

Thank You Guys so much!!!

I love the progress pictures! You look great.

I just posted some before and progress pictures!!! The before pictures was soooo hard to post! I had to hunt for the ones I posted I have been running from the camera for so long it's kind of sad. I was looking through hundreds of photos and only found the few. I'm talking beautiful family moments and I'm not in any pictures it's like I wasn't even there. I'm so excited to make new memories and I will be front and center! I already love taking pictures... cant wait to get to goal!

I was told that as long as I was comfortable and off of pain meds for 24 hours I could drive. I drove 4 days after surgery to the store.

When I told people at work that I was having WLS I got "WHY" "YOU'RE NOT THAT BIG" So I would ask so should I wait to get "THAT BIG"? They had nothing to say!

Good job you look great!!

It's funny cause when I see other in shape healthy "skinny" people I don't think they look sick.

Congrats on your weight loss!!! I have a size 8 jean shorts form yearsssss ago lol I have saved them all these years and would love to put them on again. I don't think I would wear them but to put them on would be awesome!

I'm not worried to much about the number I just want to be healthy!

I wasn't bothered by it, I just don't feel "small" or "skinny".

Weird that one of the husbands said something, I would have giving my husband the death stare... It's so funny how people feel the need to comment on something so personal.

Thank You!

I just got my first "you're losing too much weight" comment today. I ran into someone I haven't seen since I was sleeved, she told me how good I looked and told me not to lose anymore weight. I told her I still need to lose at least another 40. She said no just stop now! you're going to look sick! Now I'm 198 @ 5'3 so far from being a healthy weight... which is what I'm aiming for!

When are you starting? I'm in!

You would need a anti viral med... I also get them but they never last more then a couple of days so I think you should be fine, but you should always call the Dr. to be sure.

WOW you look GREAT!! I have had this DVD and I'm going to start tomorrow!!! thanks to you!

Hello, I was sleeved April 23rd!! SW 248 CW 198 Bread plain Water and beef don't agree with me so I stick with chicken breast and ground turkey and fish. I work out 5 to 6 days a week.

I was just about to say the same... I have lost 50 pounds today, my mother in law comes into town... NOT A WORD! I'm like wow!

Mine started the day after surgery... I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy! Between blood thinners and everything else going on... um yeah it was bad!

Hi I was sleeved April 23rd I'm down 41 pounds since surgery I feel GREAT! I work out 5 to 6 days a week, I run walk swim and lift weights. I eat around 600 to 800 cals. a day depending on my workout.

Hi... I was able to pick Dr. Mann When I made my Appt. she asked me did I have a Dr. I preferred, I picked him because at my orientation they said he did the most sleeves. He is a very good Dr. I am having great weight loss and no problems but with that said I haven't heard anything bad about the other surgeons. You can ask if you can switch not sure how that works or you speak with the Dr. about your concerns and see if that would help. If you have any other questions feel free to ask I'm willing to help!

Hey... I just got sleeved April 23rd, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth... Dr. Mann was my surgeon. I live in Norfolk.
