My sleeve will accept anything I eat!! That's how I gain 30 pounds eating junk!! The mind gotta be strong...I have lost 15 of them but I haven't hit my goal and I am 2 years out....not gonna beat myself up just get back to the program.... It's called a journey for a reason.

I am 2 years out slow loser but I also was eating so much junk food and gained 30 pounds! I have lost 15 this last month getting back on track...this is a journey no lie..I got 50 more to loss....I've lost 70..

I got so many nice clothes at the thrift shops for cheap!! I got jeans for 2/3 bucks many still had store tags on them same with tops too...I got clothes 2 to 4 sizes too small...I am so straight on clothes.

Fantastic! Go for it! You will be surprised at how much weight that hanging skin is.

I know that everyone that has lost a lot of weight didn't go through wls I have lost weight so many times over the years but never kept it off....each time I gained it back plus some..

I was sent a bill the day of surgery no money was collected

I didn't, I wasn't in pain I actually questioned did I have surgery? But the restriction was there lol

I didn't lose any hair either and I am 2 years out

Exactly what I was gonna say

It varies by insurance and also how long it take you to complete all the pre op things that has to be done.

Mine initial consultation was September 2014 and surgery was
March 2015

I lost 50 pounds and one of my co workers said you looking good with your weight loss! Another CO workers said I don't see a difference.... I said to the one that complimented me thanks for the compliment to the other one I said maybe you'll notice when I lose 50 more cause everyone see differently as I was smiling at her....she looked puzzled uuum I don't get mad about shit like that I hope she was trying to steal my joy cause she didn't. What she didn't know is before weight loss I always had high self esteem when I entered a room I always felt like I was one of the prettiest women in the room.....Always hair looking good, smelling good, nice outfit and my smile get them everytime...

My surgeon, Dr. Oliver Whipple was awesome from the day I met him. I don't have enough words to explain how nice this man was and how comfortable he made me the entire time of this journey.... He met with me a few days before surgery, after surgery he spoke directly to my family, after surgery he came to my hospital room each day, my check ups afterwards he was just as awesome... My entire experience was great.

Flora I totally agree with you, I like how you phrased that.

Rudge when you lose weight you gonna feel good about yourself and not care what others think..your confidence will only get better.

Before I had surgery people I knew that were obese all their lives were losing lots of weight. A natural reaction is Wow you look good what are you doing to lose the weight? About 75% of them were honest with me and I appreciate that cause it gave me the courage to have weight loss surgery.... Those that didn't share I am OK with that too but they loved all the compliments and attention received by people as they stood before us lying about how they loss weight that part I just can't respect......i'd rather them to say thanks for the compliment but it's a personal issue I don't want to discuss. I myself never lied because I knew I was having surgery to please me, myself and I and it didn't matter to me how anyone felt. To me it was a blessing I received that I could share with others and a blessing like this surgery I definitely wasn't hiding from anyone.... People talk about you if you obese and they talk about you when you losing weight sssooo what's the difference? Negative talk either way....To Be Honest Most People Know You Lying Anyway If You Suddenly Start Losing A Lot Of Weight And You Saying Oooh just eating right and exercising. Uummm All Of A Sudden You Can Lose Weight All On Your Own?? Then you walk away and that's when the laughing, snickering and talking about you start because of you lying in people faces when they know better... Just say I really don't want to talk about it.

You look awesome!
