Hi All

First picture is from Nov 2013 size 20W and the 2nd picture is from Sun Jan 25, 2015 (SIZE 6!!!!)
3rd pic is from Oct 2013 - 4th pic is from Sat Jan 24, 2015
The sleeve CHANGED MY LIFE! best thing i have ever done!!! wishing you all a happy day!

It will be 5 months on Feb 4th since surgery and 80lbs since Feb 2014. So grateful!!!

The pix in light blue is me at about 280-something...(not quit sure but 284 is mi highest recorded weight.) The royal blue is me at 11 weeks post op. The pic of me running was taken in 2013 after i had lost 30 pounds i weighed in at 254 the morning after the run (5k). In the pink i am 225(today) and i just finished a jog. I'm training for a 5k in Feb.

Before and a year after surgery, ...????

Hi again y'all!
Hit my one year surgi-versary on Wednesday & I'm now down 100lbs! Feels surreal. This hasn't been easy but I'm thrilled with my progress thus far.

2 months post op and 45lbs gone !

Surgery date 9/25/13, height 5'1, Weight 238lbs

After: 130lbs

Best decision I ever made!

Every one looks great

This was me 2 days ago! I'm a nurse so sometimes i feel like I know too many of the things that could go wrong. I have bad heartburn too so I had my EGD yesterday. It was so quick and easy! I felt nothing and don't remember anything after they gave me the sedation. I was loopy all morning and felt fine. No issues at all. I feel silly now but I was just nervous like you. You will be just fine!

Well...been for all my pre op tests today...after 6 days on milk diet ive lost 10lbs! Very happy... ive come home with my tablets to take night and morning before surgery and one injection to do myself the night before...im so focused I just want it done now

Best advise would be to follow your doctors orders (meticulously - it helps get you in the right mindset), track every single day, and set small goals. Make a list of why you thought about this in the first place and reference it - often!
As for the hair thing..yes, that sucks but it is only temporary. Mine started around 3-4 months and stopped a bit after 6. I had a friend on "bald spot" patrol but it never got that far. I did start Biotin from day one and would recommend that.
In the beginning (and some holidays) I still have that "but this is so freaking delicious and I am annoyed I cannot eat more" feeling, but once you get past a certain point in your loss, that becomes less of a priority. Now if I want something enough, I take it for leftovers.
Best of luck to you!

I <3 my sleeve

I'm 19 yrs old and have been considering surgery since I was about 17 since I've dealt with obesity my whole life.
My surgery was Nov 18, 2014. I started at 298 and am now at 254! Only 7 weeks out of surgery but have seen a huge difference in how I look!
It's so funny that I look in the mirror every day and always tell myself that I don't see any changes and feel upset and then I actually look at the pics I took right before surgery and how much I've changed. Literally puts me in tears!
Of course I'm still in progress, my goal is to be about 120, I'm hoping that happens! I'm really short, 5'1 so technically that's pushing almost still being overweight lol.
I can't wait to be a year out and look as great as all of you guys! Everyone here is such an inspiration ????
