I just bought this LBD to wear out to dinner for our 1st wedding anniversary tomorrow. This time last year, I was 218 pounds and wore a size 18W. My LBD is a 10! Best gift I ever gave myself and my husband!

Surgery on October 22, 2013. I am 5 pounds from my goal of 145. My doctor's goal was 157! This is my LBD to wear to our wedding anniversary on 8/22/14. Best gift I could ever give my husband!

Losing very slowly now.....8 pounds to goal! Cannot describe how happy I am with the surgery. Even when the scale refuses to budge, I keep shrinking. Started at 18W and now in a size 10 pants (soon to be 8) and Small/Med tops! My RA is in remission and I am no longer taking the heavy duty medications for it. Tons of energy and ability to do things I couldn't do before. Like my gyn said, "You're a poster child for weight lost surgery". Yes, there is a lot of sagging going on (after all I am 60!) but I can live with it. HW 220 SW 215 CW 153

Surgery Date: 10/22/2013 Highest Weight (Dec. 2012) 220 SW: 215 CW: 180 Halfway to goal of 145! Love, Love, Love my sleeve!

I was sleeved on 10/22/13 at 7:30 AM. Best thing I ever did for myself! Was not sick and haven't taken pain medication since I came home. I never was a "drinker" so hard for me to keep sipping water and getting the protein shakes in every day. But doing my best after threats from my nut about IV fluids for dehydration! Happy with the weight loss so far and dreading the "3 week stall".

I'm a shortie...5'3 1/2 (the half inch is very important!) SD- 8/22/2013 HW- 220 SW- 215 CW - 199.2 (2 weeks out tomorrow!) GW- 145
