Hello November Sleevers!

Please come and introduce yourselves! Scorch picked our name a few weeks ago in another thread. We are the banana BABES, because like she said, " our stomachs will end up looking like a banana".

I will start.

November 16th is my big day! I would have LOVED to have accepted the 7th, but I have tickets to see STING in concert. Don't you love my priorities? (Actually the tickets were expensive, non refundable & my husband would kill me).

So the 16th it is and I couldn't be happier. Before Thanksgiving is probably not ideal, but being sleeved and somewhat recovered by January 1st ,2012 is way more important to me. I can't wait!

So glad to hear everyone is doing good... I am so happy with my weight loss of 65 pounds my 3 month anniversary was 2/22 and I feel like I never had surgery well besides the fact that I can't eat much but i am so use to it..I even went on vacation and I saved so much money in food.. Ha ha

Hey, checking in! It has been a while. Since my surgery on Nov. 23rd, I have lost 97 LBS!!!!!! WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO! Feeling great!

Down to 166 from 223 hope everyone is doing well !!!Updated pics

Longer-life I'm doing awesome even 3mths late responding to your post

Finally moving again after an almost 2 week stall-- however, all of my clothes fit bigger, so I know I was losing something! I am now doing a Body Pump class (highly recommended) Step aerobics & a core strengthening class! So Im pretty sure my stall was due to muscle gain! I take Body Pump on Tuesdays & Thursdays, Step Aerobics on Monday following the core strengthening class :-) Wednesday & Fridays are strict cardio- 3 miles on treadmill at a 10 incline & 3.5-4.5 mph speed! Hope everyone is doing well & enjoying their "new" bodies as much as I am :-D

Haven't checked in here for awhile. I was sleeved on Nov. 07/11 and as of today I am down 73 pounds. I feel great and I am so happy that I had the surgery. Everything has gone so good so far. How is everyone else out there doing?

checking in babes! hope y'all doing well!

Sleeved on Nov 01/11

Surgeon: Dr. Fernando Garcia - Tijuana, Mexico

Started the Kaiser Options program June 2011 and lost 17 lbs pre-op. Since Surgery (November 2011), I have lost 73 pounds for a grand total of 90 pounds.

How is everyone doing, id almost a year since we had our surgery..I feel great one of the best things I did for myself

I lost 87 pounds so far but now is very slow since I can eat more..I feel great .

Love to hear from all of you soon.

Hi Geno, I also can eat alot more now and have to really watch it. A couple of times I ate too much and was really hurting. I tend to forget I even had the surgery some days so it's always a challenge.....but overall it was well worth it. I get all my one year labs done in a few weeks so shall see how they look. I'm actually below goal now so maintaining is the key.

You sound like you are doing very well. Keep us updated.
