Congratulations JaSleeve!!!! Since I've been a member of this forum in March, I've been following your story. It scares the living daylights out of me!! I'm so glad you are doing better. I've not had my surgery yet and everytime I think of what you went through, I want to change my mind.

So glad you are doing so well now. I wanted to ask you if you knew what size your sleeve is? Surgeons use different size "bougies" to size the sleeve from 28fr to 42fr. Do you know what yours is?? I know that people with smaller sleeves tend to have more leaks and complications.

ONEDERLAND!! SO COOL! God Bless you!

well guys, heres my update!!!!

i had surgery on dec 20th, 2011.

i weighed 273 before my pre-op diet. i lost 19lbs during my pre-op diet.

i found out i had at leak at 5 weeks.

they placed a stent and i was hospitalized for a total of 2weeks. the stent was in for a total of 4wks. after not eating & not having a picc line or anything and being HORRIBLY SICK, they finally removed the stent & it was uphill from there!

i am now 6months, 1week & 2 days post op! i weighed in 2 days ago at 180lbs. 93lb weight loss. i went from a size 18-20 (stretch) jeans to a size 8-10 (stretch) jeans. my goal is to go down to 165lbs & see how i look. if i want to lose more, i will try for 145lbs.

i am losing hair excessively! i have upped my Protein & i take both Biotin & biosil & nothings working. im praying that it does stop soon.

i eat about 2 chicken breast a day from boston market for Protein & sometimes i snack on a Protein Bar or drink a shake.

i dont count calories, carbs or anything. im just living life & trying to be normal as possible!!!

please visit my youtube channel... i finally made an update!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
