It was one year ago that I was in Mexicali Mexico sitting in my hotel room the night before I was to go to the hospital for my surgery. I can not believe that one year has passed and I have gone from a weight of well over 300 lbs to almost being out of the 200's. I am greatful that I found the courage and money to have this proceedure done. I am living the life I have always dreamed of. I am not stared at with disgusted looks and shame. I am now getting hit on by younger men!!!

My life has changed for the better and I will be at goal in the near future. I have lost almost 150 lbs and my knees, back, hips and feet thank me everyday.

For those who are just starting your journey it is a journey of ups and downs but in the end it will be worth it. I love love love my sleeve. :wub:

Congratulations on your successes so far! :-)

Wow, you're doing great! Congrats!!

Thank you for your post! It is such encouragement! So inspirational! I just went from Alli ALii's post of newly sleeved and now to yours a year after.

I feel oddly like this is a "moment"...

Wow! Congrats on your success!! And thanks so much for posting this -- it is such an inspiration for 'beginners' like me.

This is so exciting! CONGRATS! Keep Rockin that Sleeve!

Happy Anniversary sweetie! I'm so happy for you and all your success

That is awesome! Thanks for sticking around to help us newbies out. It's great to have folks who have gone before us to look to for advice and motivation!

Congrats Autumn Lily and Happy Sleeviversary!
