My shoe size went down at least 1/2 a size and I went from a wide width to a medium or narrow depending on the sho.

Here I am at my highest and my lowest let me know what you think. Starting weight 387 current weight 230. Just bought my first pair of 36 jeans down from a size 50. And still losing yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think all of these comments are a ditto for me. With of course the ones pertaining to all of the fair ladies on the forum. Weightloss surgery for me was a great decision and a life saving one to boot.

I was sleeved on the 24th of July 2013. I am down 200 pounds and I feel fantastic. Getting the sleeve was the best think I ever did. No regrets whatsoever.

Thank you for the wonderful compliment. However, I have plenty of loose skin. My arms are quite jiggly, my tummy has a bunch of loose skin. I also have a really droopy thing I sit on. But you know what? I'm going to be sixty one in September and even though I am not really happy about the gravity issues I am extremely happy about my overall health, energy and future health. I am also extremely happy about my ability to care for my wife who is seven years older than me and in extremely poor health. But thank you for the wonderful compliment I appreciate it so much.

This is me before and after 4 months post op. I weighed 341 on the day of surgery and I am now weighing 261. I went from size 50 jeans to 38 jeans. Getting ready to go to 36's hopefully. One thing I have noticed that even though Ihave had 2 stalls, the inches continue to come off. I have never felt better in years. I am so thankful that I had this surgery.

Hello all, I had my sleeve on the 24th of July 2013. My starting weight was 387 and my weight on the day of surgery was 341. As of today I weighed in at 191. I have lost all of my weight by controlling my food intake entirely. I do plan on starting exercise soon because I need to get some tone back. I look pretty gaunt considering I am six foot four inches tall. I went from a size 50 jeans to 34 jeans. Let me know what you all think.
Regards, Mark

Here are two of mine

Thanks Hope. I have started walking a bit and I feel really fantastic. I plan on working out in November after I am done working.
And thank you for the compliment.

Stephanni: I can't believe your marvelous transformation. You must be congratulated on your marvelous transformation. You also look so toned. I take it that you are exercising regularily. You so far in my years of viewing weight loss posts have turned our to be the most beautiful ladies I have seen. Congratulations gorgeous.

I have lost enough weight now that whenever I see someone that I haven't seen since surgery, they now think that I perhaps could have cancer or something. I daily get comments from people telling me to "eat more" you need to slow down. I don't think that they totally understand that now we all have this little teeny stomach and I am not about stretch it out just to satisfy them right?
