My name is Mike I am 35 years on. I had Gastric Sleeve Surgery April 2011. At the time of the surgery I weighed 529 pounds I am a year in and I currently weigh 355 pounds! Feeling great! Still have alot of work but its a whole lot easier now! Do get me wrong I still have my bone head moments like eating to much or to fast! It takes alot of work! But if I can do it everybody can! Good Luck to anyone who is in the first stages and keep up the good work!

mike,

applause, applauce, applauce

so happy for your amazing transformation. You must feel absolutely besides yourself, healthier, and happier

losing all that weight, being able to do things now that you possibly could never have done before. it must be such a wonderful feeling. You should go on this site for people that have more than 200+'s to lose. they will feel (as do we all) that its possible to lose weight, no matter how much you have to lose.

keep up the amazing work - please come to the neighborhood again periodically, tell us how your doing, certain challenges you might be having - etc. we're all here to give support, and definitely for any advice you could give us

continued best of luck

great work

Awesome job!!!.. yeah, I had a "bone head, big girl moment" about 20 minutes ago... Ate creme brulee and Sleevina got all irritable and upset.. Girl, wouldn't calm down until I got it up and out!!! I hate throwing up!! UGH!!!!.. But, she's feeling a little better.. I'm only going to give her liquids for the rest of the day as my way of apologizing...

Congrats Mike, those are some GREAT numbers! Well done & keep up the fantastic work!

Congrats, keep up the impressive work!!

Have to go to my check up Tuesday. Hope my Dr is as happy as I am with the results!
