Hi sweet tooth2015

I don't mean to sound nieve but I didnt know you could have a bowel obstruction with the sleeve since they don't detach your intestines as they do with rny glad that your are doing fine after that. I am getting close I have my 5th nutrition visit Friday and egd thurs I'm so ready to be in your shoes right now hope you feel better soon.

Hello, I am a AA Sleever. My surgery date was 6-2-2015. When I started this journey, I weighed 289 and now I am at 215. My goal is to get down to 150 pounds.This surgery has been the best decision of my life. Now that I have had it, I don't see how I could have got to this point any other way. Best of luck to all of you!

I had braids during my procedure as well. I did this so I would not have to worry with my hair post-op. In fact, I am 5 weeks out and still wearing my braids. I wash and refresh if one gets loose.

I'm a AA hopeful...not sure insurance will cooperate.

I haven't told anyone, not even my CLOSEST sistafriends. I haven't told my husband I'm considering doing this, I know he won't be all that supportive. He's never really struggled with his weight and I've found most people who don't have food issues don't understand what it's like.

So happy I found this thread.

      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
