    Hi Everyone,
    I'm 48 years old, 5'1". Have had a weight problem since 1991. I had Diabetes II, High Blood Pressure, Sleep Apnea, High Cholesterol. Congested Heart Failure in my family history. I had lapband surgery on 04 April 08. I just hated. I did what I was suppose to. However, I was always starving. Yes, I had my fills and no the band did not slip. I lost only 17 lbs and then gained it all back. 20 May 09, I had the lapband removed and got sleeved. I'm so happy with this, it's working so much better for me. I still get hungry but not starving like I was before with the lapband. So far, I have lost 31 lbs. I'M SO LOVIN MY SLEEVE!!! :tongue_smilie:

    So far, I have lost 33 lbs. Have not really been exercising, as I should be. The weight still is coming off. I was in a stall about 2 weeks ago. I have to remember this is a revision surgery and the weight might not come off as fast as the lst timers, virgin sleevers. I'm feeling really good about myself. Even though my hair is coming out. I think that's a good thing, it proves to me the surgery really worked and from what I hear that is one of the signs. I know that it will stop coming out and start growing back. I will keep you all posted.
     
    Thanks. :tongue_smilie:
