Hi..I'm new to this site too.. I had my surgery 10 days ago and I have lost 16 pounds already..but it's a bit of a struggle..good luck on your journey I wish you the best!!
For me, after losing 15 pounds there was nothing else that helped. No amount of crutches was cutting it. Mine wasn't even that bad. I really his it quite well. I was more conscious of it than anything. There are different products -wraps & things you can try. They seemed gimmicky to me, but maybe others have had good results with them.
I'm new to this site. Going to get sleeved on 6/15/2015. My story in a nut shell... I went from bikini model babe to eating my way to doubling my weight over the past 20 years. I am an expert diet pro. I have gained/lossed 80%/40% of my body weight respectively. I have done this more than I can count. My husband of 10 years met me as I was hitting a low weight 152. We've been married 10 years and I have ballooned up to 227. He has never treated me any different. I fought the deadliest form of breast cancer and so far 5.5 years out and I'm still alive. Now I really want to live!! But not at the fat, unhealthy weight I'm at now. I don't want to do anything or go anywhere and I hate the mirrors. So after considering this for 8 years now The Lord is blessing me with this opportunity. I don't know how to fill out profile. I hope to get to know some great people who can share this journey with me!????
