I am 5'2" - at my heaviest I was 210 (size 18/20)- had surgery on June 16, 2014 my weight was 196. I was about 175 in August and 150 in November.
Now almost a year out I'm down to 128 (size5/6) - my goal is 125 so I'm almost there!
My only regret is the thinning hair...........but loving the short cut now that it is summertime.

I voted yes. Came through surgery great but once home got the dry heaves.....................those lasted for about 6 weeks.
Got so dehydrated I went to Urgent Care got an IV and was put on Zofran. After that everything went pretty smooth.
I am about 10 months out and have lost about 80 pounds.
So very pleased with my surgery and would do it again in a flash!

I haven't posted much but had my daughter take pics and WOW is all I can say!
At my top weight I was 210.....at 5'2" that is a lot. I got down to 196 on surgery day - 6/16/14. I had a pretty rough 6 weeks right after surgery but once I got on the proper medication the journey got pretty easy.
Now 11 months post op and down to 129 it has been an awesome adventure. So pleased I had the sleeve done.
I also show horses (and have for years), after I had lost about 75 pounds I was at a show, the judge was someone I showed with, she didn't recognize me and asked my trainer who that was riding my horse! Too funny.

Sooo close to my goal...........but if my body is happy at this weight - I will be ok with that!
