Hi, everyone. I haven't been around lately. I have been busy helping two of my friends try to get the sleeve. Sadly one was denied and the other is cash paying . I'm more nervous for her and I was for myself.lol I have had zero issues with the sleeve and would do it again in a heartbeat. My weight loss leveled off at 69 lbs, so accoring to my surgeon I need to lose 10 more lbs but I am in a size 10 and my 5'8 frame is healthy looking so I'm not going to stress over the last few lbs. I worked hard for the first 6 months taking advantage of the "honeymoon" phase and will get back on the exercise train after Christmas. Wishing everyone Happy Holidays!

Congratulations to you! I remember when you used to come over here. . . check out my ticker! It's going to be 1 year on the 29th. . .I've had no issues either. . . I am now playing a game with myself to see how low we can really go. . so if i loose, good for me,, if not, good for me. . .i'm looking good now. . . Merry Christmas to you and yours as well. . . .

Glad to hear you are doing so well! Merry Christmas!!!

well done and congrats on a fantastic weight loss! what a great christmas present!

Glad to hear you are doing well cwalker!! Congrats on your success so far!!

thin, love the outlook - I totally agree with the goal thing. I just have one to keep me working toward something, but if I feel comfy at a higher weight and I'm good and healthy I may just take a low key approach then.

Congrats! And at your hight I think your correct not to stress over them 10lbs! Doctors are a little unrealistic sometimes. And Happy Holidays to you too!

Yeah, it's been awhile since I have been on...and you have done AMAZING!!!! Pat yourself on the back sister, you rocked your sleeve!

When you say zero issues, does that mean you don't have reflux? Just curious. I would say I battle with this and haven't quite figured it out. I don't want to take Prilosec every day but instead take it when I need it. But I'd rather not have reflux. Just curious. I have wondered if it is bc I have a 34 boughie, bc my cousin got a 40 boughie and I don't think she is having the exact problem.

I don't take a PPI every day BUT I do keep one in my purse, there are certain foods(onion) that give me heartburn and I try to prevent it. I have a 36 boughie, which is what my surgeon uses on every patient.
