I was sleeved November 11, 2010. I have now lost 81 pounds and no end in sight. Started this journey at 334 the day of surgery. I actually went to a conference last week, flew for the first time comfortably, no belt extender, could use the tray table, actually enjoyed the flight! As others have said, enjoying life so much more, no pain in the legs, knees, feet. Walked miles a day at the conference and was in great spirits all day. Enjoying so much that I have missed the last years, bowling, golfing, walks, swimming. It truly is amazing.
I have so much more self confidence now than I have had in 30 years. I do workshops and retreats and was always lacked confidence due to my weight and look. NOW, nothing holding me back. I enjoy being in front of a group and presenting.
It took me five years to work up the courage to have the surgery, to admit that I had food issues and needed help. Dieted for years, but yo-yo weight loss. I have been insulin diabetic for 10 years and was taking over 200units of insulin a day. Now I only take to meds and insulin as a correction. Most days I don't even take insulin! What a relief. Starting to eat different foods. Can't wait to be able to enjoy a salad and fresh vegetables. Have learned to cook better foods for the entire family.
Totally appreciate this forum and everyones comments, thoughts, encouragement to each other. This has been the one place I continue to come back to for support!
