Hello Everyone.!

I am new to this site and I am set to be sleeved 01/13/2014. I am nervous but excited for what my future holds. I pray for no complications and a smooth transition. I am also having my gallbladder removed due to complications I have been having for the past year with it. I will continue to look at this site for guidance and to hear others and there stories.

Hi everyone.

I just wanted to drop in and introduce myself to everyone. I was sleeved on the 19th of Dec. As of last week I was 23 pounds down. I will have my 3 week post op weigh in tomorrow. I love my sleeve with all my heart. No complications. No pain. Having trouble remembering to eat and drink but that's not the worse thing in the world! :) wishing everyone the best!

ualaw08- can you provide us with your starting stats? Weight/Height? Just wondering as I'm scheduled to be sleeved 1/13/14 and getting an idea of where somone started helps me get a gauge for where I may be. Btw I'm 5'3 HW-220

Best wishes to all the newbies. You're going to start on your way to a rewarding, but sometimes frustrating journey. You'll have successes, stalls, and some issues with your new sleeve, but your life is going to change for the better. I was sleeved on 2/19/13 and have lost 116lbs on my way to my goal of a total of 150lbs lost.

Thanks for sharing! It helps much to see where I could be in less than ONE YEAR ????! I am so looking forward to my future! Sleeved on 12-18 and down 24 lbs today. Saw the doc today and free to start working out a bit more. Hopefully, that will give me more energy.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
