Hello All!! I was sleeved Jan 24th 2011. It has been an interesting journey to say the least. My SW was 304 and I am now 212. Only 12 lbs til ONEDERLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant belive it. I recently changed my goal weight to 140 from 160 but Im not sure if that is very realistic but I am striving for it!!! My weight loss has slowed down some but that is due to my "falling of the wagon" and when I say that I mean not working out or eating as healthy. But the AMAZING part of the sleeve is that although I messed up I am still losing weight!!!! Its not 3-5 lbs/week anymore..more like 1-3 lbs a week. But the beauty of it is that I can start fresh and when I work out I drop ALOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know Im not gaining it back. If anyone is thinking about this DO IT!!!!!!!!!! Best decision I've ever made!!!!!!!!!! And I know it gets old but this is just a TOOL. But damn it is the best effing tool I've ever used and if you work the sleeve it will work for you!!!!!!!!! This week Im becoming more committed again and staying away from the crap. My problem is I forget to eat and Im a single mom and I work 2 jobs so I eat out. Well I have a wedding June 17th and I want to be UNDER 200!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope all is going well for eveyone!!!!!!!!!

Loved your post and thank you , I needed those words and I needed them today , my surgery for the sleeve is the 24th of this month and playing ping pong in my head .............so thank you
