Hi fellow sleevers:

YES, I finally hit the century mark!! I was sleeved on April 18, 2011, so it's just over 7 months out. I am so thrilled to reach this milestone!

My progress has been pretty fast, I think. The first couple of months, I had sincere buyer's remorse, because I had excess acid and was sick every day for 8 weeks! Then the folks on this forum advised me to take Prilosec, and that solved the problem; I took myself off of that med at 5 months with no residual problems.

My husband was sleeved a year ahead of me and has been encouraging from the beginning. I've had amazing support and positive reinforcement from friends, family, colleagues, and students, and that has been a huge help and a tremendous source of happiness for me. I would absolutely recommend this procedure to anyone struggling with their weight--now my outside is starting to match my inside, and my "fat suit" is never coming back!!!

The attached pics are one of me from a cruise last Thanksgiving and one from this morning, so almost a year's difference. :-) I still have a ways to go, but as I told my husband a while ago, if I don't lose another pound, it's still been 100% worth it.

WOW, what a transformation and you just look so happy. On a different note I see you were in Key West. We have a Hyatt timeshare, right to the right as you get off ship and we will be there next week. I am 1 mo out and down 25 which will enable me to do more walking around than I usually do....

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
