Just wanted to put this out there. Today, I reached my 60lb weight loss goal. Still have 30 or so to go. But after a 3 month stall, I didn't think the scale would ever move again. Don't give up and don't get upset if you hit a stall. As long as you are doing what you're supposed to be doing, the scale will move -- EVENTUALLY. Good things come to those who wait. Thank you SLEEVE!

Amazing accomplishment! Congrats..

You look amazing. Keep up the good work!

Wow, great job! i started at 256 too and I'm 7 months out and am at 202. My scale hasn't BUDGED in 2 months! So happy for you.

I saw that too. Being from Seattle myself, it freaked me out. Knowing that I was in dating mode not that long ago, freaked me out even more. Really getting harder and harder to trust people. Thankfully, they did catch the guy she went on a date with. Hoping if he is guilty he's prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Prayers for her 3 kids.

Have you checked out realself.com to research any other ones? I'm having a consult in the state I live in (ND) and the state my family lives in (WA) to see which one is better and how different the prices are. Lets face it, price matters. Not that I would go with the lowest bidder, but 33k seems really high.

Congrats, I'm on the verge of onderland and feeling like it will never happen. This is a great victory for you!

I had the band for 2 years and had to have it out due to slipping and cutting off blood supply to my stomach. Took me almost 10 years to get my sleeve because of the fear I had about my experience with the band. I didn't know what I could or couldn't eat one day to the next because of the band. Its so temperamental. I would never in a million years tell anyone to get the band. I was so depressed and miserable for the 2 years I had it. As soon as I got it removed, my personality came back. My 2 cents--

While, I'm not from Minnesota, I live right next door in North Dakota! Congrats on your surgery and welcome to the club. My doctor told me about the support group in my area, although it's via a Tele-presence. Maybe your doc can suggest one for you?

I can't stop putting Gochujang (Korean Red Pepper paste) on all the chicken breast I cook. Its just spicy enough to give me the kick I need.

Great job so far, that is impressive and considering your knee replacement! Today is my 5th month and I'm down 50 total. I have about 45 left to go as well. We got this!

I've noticed the advances are hourly or daily now that I've lost 50lbs. Little better class of guys anyway. My husband watched a bar full of guys eyeballing me and was so proud that HE was the one that got to go home with me. I try to keep eye contact at a minimum because I don't want that kind of attention. I'm very embarrassed by it now that I'm not heavier. I agree with the RBF comment, that'll help although the booze bottle hot dog shoppers won't care. LOL

I originally had my lapband at NWWLS with Dr Michaelson. I had a good experience, he even waived his fee when my band slipped and had to have an emergency removal. He is the only doctor that I ever dealt with. You should do whatever you feel is right for you. If you're not getting the warm fuzzies with them then go elsewhere.

I take my Synthroid at 7am and then couple hours later take my vitamins, PPL, etc. I know you're only supposed to take a thyroid supplement with water, and then nothing for 30 mins after that.

Sleeved 9/3 and down 32 lbs. I couldn't be happier. I didn't have complications, but constipation for the first 3 weeks. I think my worst problem is weighing myself daily. I get obsessed. Every day is a learning process on what I can eat. I'm just sorry I didn't do this sooner. Too much time spent over weight and in pain. Life is a gift!
