Obviously, the first ones are pre-op, but I had had my band placed for almost 2 months when these were done so this isn't even technically at my heaviest. I think I was around 250-255lbs in these.

The second set were taken today ! ! !

Here's proof the sleeve works. No matter where you are in the process, DO NOT GIVE UP. . . This is the best thing in the entire world. Take care of yourself, your body, your mind, and your spirit ! ! !

These are so nice Tiffany. You look absolutely great. You give such good advice online. I really appreciate it. I am awaiting approval from insurance. I hope to be joining you soon on loser's bench.

Incredible - but your lovely smile remains the same. You son is almost as tall as you! What an amazing story you have shared with us with all of your posts and support. Thank you from one of your followers.

I know it has been said before but you are such a blessing to all of us newbies and wantabes! I have hung on all of your responses and posts and used them to help me get to where I am! I think a lot of sleevers use this site only while they are losing and then forget about it (which I guess that means they are living their new life which is good). You keep coming back to help all of us behind you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

P.S. the pictures are amazing!!!!
