I paid $4500 in 2/2014

I went to Mexico, with Dr. Quinones. I had a great experiance! I would recommend him to my loved ones in a hot second!

I heard that Dr.Q was getting some shit talk. I hope this is not true, there are a lot of us that have benefited from his expertise. I have lost over 100 lbs since 2/20/2014. I went with 2 girlfriends and we had a great experiance. If I get booted off this forum because of this post ....What a shame!

12/19 182
I won't be able to weigh in till 12/29

Been so off with weigh ins! 12/1/14 I weighed 184, so up a bit from Turkey Day, then by 12/4 I weighed 181.5 and then forgot to weigh in on Friday! Hopefully I can get back on track with checking in when I am supposed to!

182.5

Next week you'll be down it happens, this was a big ordeal for body to go through!

I suggest logging ASAP just because it can be a vital habit to have in your arsenal if you ever do have a real stall or wieght gain. New habits and behaviors are vital to your long term success!

Every body responds differently to major surgery, stay off the the scale, it happens! I did not lose for a couple of weeks and now I am almost -100 pounds in less then a year! IT HAPPENS

Sorry I did not get my post in last Friday 11/14 weigh in was 184
Does anyone know if you can post from an Android phone? Since my tablet got crushed by my nephew I would like to be able to post with my phone and can not figure it out.

SW 184
Goal 170

First, trust your instincts! If you are concerned about everyone finding out keep it to yourself! I choose not to tell anyone that I either knew would have a negative attitude or was a jabber jaws! It is such a personal journey and it is uncomfortable to be judged no matter what you do! I was so judgmental about people that had surgery! Then I changed the way I viewed my weight. Instead of berating myself for being such a failure at losing my weight I realized that it had turned into a disease for me. I was sick and only getting worse. I was addicted to sugar and simple carbs and had no control. Then I learned about the sleeve, that was something that made sense for me and offered me a tool that I thought I could utilize. It is working and it is a miracle! You may find that you become less sensitive about people finding out, let yourself evolve with your sleeve, don't feel like you have to do anything! When and if your ready you'll share. Right now you need to stay in your healing! You need to worry about you and learning how to take care of you! Now is a time to be selfish in that this transformation is going to affect all aspects of your life! Be prepared, you may lose friends or the relationships change, you are going to be different. My husband says I exude confidence now, and I am starting to feel it!

I am back and ready for another challenge! Getting close to goal and losing slow now. Today I was 184.5 which is AMAZEBALLS! Does anyone know how to post using an Android? I have the app on my phone but do not know how to post with it?

They had a phone for us to use while in the hospital/clinic. Surgery was with Dr. Quinones

Sorry I have been MIA. Back in the game weighing in at 189

I am 5'5" and was fine in a 9/10. I'm now in 7/8 jeans and medium tops and the jeans are a little loose. I REFUSE to drop another size so I have seriously upped my fat and carbs. Never thought stopping losing weight would be so hard :{ .

Start weight 194
Goal, dare I say, 180

194, made goal! Now what to do with this spare pound? OMG, I LOVE MY SLEEVE!
This challenge was momentous, I entered onederland, I weigh less then when I got married, I weigh less then my husband, I cut off my hair, and I passed my goal weight! WHAT?!?!

Oops, don't start till Friday....I'll be back then! Overly eager!

Had my 6 month check up today. The PA was super happy with my loss. I was 314, down to 207! Couldn't be happier. I'm low on Vitamin a, so I need to get better at taking my Vitamins, but that's the only thing I need to work on. I've lost 40 lbs since my 3 month check up, so she was super happy with that. Yay!
My #tbt picture. It's amazing what losong107 lbs does for a person.

Thanks for the shout out! Still has not really sunk in that my weight starts with a one! So surreal! Aug. 20th is my 6 month sleeveiversary.
HW was 280
Surgery was 2/20 never remember my weight day of...
I have been stepping on scale just to make sure it still says under 200. Wish I felt more accomplished but I think I am shock, afraid it is not real.
