Hello, I was sleeved with Dr. Guillermo Alvarez over Labor Day Weekend,

everything went well. I have lost 121 lbs. My weight loss is slowing down, I am trying to up my protein, and w:thumbup:, I am still losing inches.

I have gone from wearing a 4X 26/28 to 14/16 size clothes. I love my sleeve. It is restrictive, and I am so glad it is, it works for me.

I am 52 years old, and have Insulin Resistance. So my loss is slowing down. I am going for the goal. I have carried extra weight, for almost 30 years. I plan on reaching my goal by the end of this year. And Everyday

I thank Dr. Alvarez for giving me my life back. Best thing I have done

for myself in many, many years. Go for it.

Carol

Congratulations on your success! ! !

Thanks for sharing, it gives your sleeve sister and brother something to look forward to.

Welcome, Carol!

Welcome to the forum! It's great to have you here.

The weight loss is better at first, that's normal. The closer you get to goal the slower it comes off. But you have done a fantastic job!

Hello! 121lbs is nothing to sneeze at! You are doing great, just keep working at it and I am sure you will make your goal!!! Keep us informed!

Congratulations on your success! What an awesome accomplishment :laugh:

Congrats Carol! I hope I can be in the same place you are in 9 mts time or so.. I dont remember ever being in a size 14....or 16 for that matter! It really is nice to hear these kind of stories! so well done! what you have done is priceless! cheers.
