IT ALL BEEN GOOD FOR ME EXCEPT SOME CONSTIPATION AND SOME DEPRESSION AND I AM WORKING THROUGH THOSE EVERY DAY STAY FOCUSED IT DOES HELP CHEERS !!! NOTHING LIKE WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH WOW!! STAY POSITIVE

i feel our head control what goes in our mouth if you have to tell yourself its ok to eat it its probably not ok this is like any addiction it takes dedication and determination as the sleeve is just the tool we use it can not control our heads we all need to seek some help and also help ourselves not rely only on the tool we have been blessed with portion control and healthy choices are in our head we need to stay focused on our heath and our success

I THINK ITS PART OF THE MASTER PLAN CANT SWALLOW CANT EAT CANT GAIN WEIGHT JUST JOKING HOPE I HELPED YOU SMILE CHEERS !!

I SECOND THAT BETTER THAN ANY STATE SIDE TREATMENT I HAVE HAD GREAT PLACE FOR ME AND MY JOURNEY

SWALLOING WAS NOT A PLEASURE FOR SOME TIME FOR ME HURT QUITE A BIT STLL CAN HURT LIKE HELL IF I TAKE TO BIG OF A DRINK OF WATER

walk and exercise is you friend at this point and get all the protein you an get in stay away from the bad carbs is my suggestion and then hydrate then walk more

great news congrats !!

great job keep walking it will help with the gas congrats to you !!!

hello fellow Washingtonians i had mine in aug of 18 doing pretty good so far be fun to have a get together with all of us and we can ask questions and get updates on all of our progress anyone interested in that could be at a coffee house or something ?

i tryed pizza that does not work one bite and out it came before i got it down still dont do pizza although i want to just cant do it

Self image is one of the hardest parts for me i still at times is all that i see is the larger me sometimes it is hard to see the difference although everyone else sees it i still feel the same at times those feeling have started to fade with time and my confidence has started to blossom as well it just takes time i guess so yes we all have our insecurity's about our body

it took me 5 years to commit to the surgery and get my head into it i wish i could have done it 5 years ago maybe if my head was in it then i could have hands down it is the best tool i have ever bought for my self and i was more than ready for that tool to make my life last longer and help heal my body for the torture i have put it though over the years of bad choices and decisions no regrets best thing i have done for me ,always being the provider and the one who helps everyone first before myself in the past that has changed as i have to be good first to help others now if im not then i can not help others have to make sure you are ready and do your research cheers have a great day !!

throw it out the window i did with the first one (had to buy a new one ) well worth the frustration better idea is to put it away for a month and see where you are after that or two months if you can stand it i could not

congrats to you we will move over the bench will always have more room for the people transferring over to the losers side (weight loss) cheers

for sure you are healing and yes it will start to fall off fast then stall then move then stall keep to your exercise and diet and drink lots of water and get your protein cheers it will happen really !!

great news cheers congratulations!! welcome to a new journey in life

welcome to the bored we all need people who have had the experience to chat with i agree hope you have a great day
