Doing fantastic! I'm down almost 75 lbs since per-surgery diet. Off of all meds except Protonix for reflux, in the gym 3-4 days a week doing Water aerobics, strength training and now spinning! Went from a 22/24/2X to current 10/12/M, still would like to lose another 30-50 lbs. Currently on vacation at Disney World where I can't stop jumping for joy at how good I feel! I love Dr. Avara, good luck with your surgery! I know you'll do great!

North Ms here...Sleeved 6/15/12 in Cancun, "self-pay" down 52 lbs.

Feeling great, no problems during surgery or since!

Hello I'm from Gautier Ms, I was sleeved on October 18, in Gulfport Dr Balder was my surgeon and I am doing great

It is so nice to see people from ms I'm in ocean springs. I had my surgery sept 11 down 45 pounds. My doc is Avara and love him he is wonderful. The only thing I had problem with is second and third week I couldn't keep food down. Liquids I did great now I'm on this kick of crackers and lemon water. I don't throw up like I was but I do some time when it don't agree. Now I'm having issues with my hair falling out. I have 110 to go and pray I make it that far. Some time I feel as though the weight will never come off. I get tired really easy now days after work I want go walk but I'm to tired to do anything. So that I have to figure out cause I want to walk. I hope everyone is doing good and I hope to hear from some one.

I am scheduling with Dr Pinson in Tupelo for next month. Anyone out there who has used him or can comment? Also, for all of you who have had this procedure, is there anything you wish you had known before-hand or anything you would change or do differently? So excited and appreciative of any suggestions!

I am in Biloxi. I was sleeved on 12/30/15...still a newbie. :-) Dr. Payne is awesome.

I'm in Jackson, MS and I'm 6 days post op! Any other recent sleevers here? I'm so glad to find a forum with local motivation and support!
