As August 2012 Vertical sleevers who started here on the vertical sleeve talk and then formed a group on Facebook where we could have more updated talk, discussions, post pictures, and support one another we have found that group a wonderful family support group, now we would like to invite any summer 2013 sleevers to come to a group we have formed for mentoring, help, and advice and hope to give back and some support to the new group....its a secret group so that you may feel comfortable discussing anything, (we have found there is nothing we dont discuss or that is TMI=to much information) you will need to add me as a friend and then I can add you to this group where its secret, please send a message with your friend request so I know you are a sleever here is my direct fb link so you can add me https://www.facebook.com/klyn.mcmickell....

I am a little over a year. I am now down to 125 lbs. I am trying to keep from losing too much weight.

I am still exercising and running. I wear a sz 2-4 from 22-24 and sm- med from 3x.

This is a picture from last Saturday.

Hey i was sleeved aug 28th 2012. I have been on a horrible stall! I am 157 right now I started at 240. Since March when I had my gallbladder out I have only lost 15 lbs! I bust ass at the gym normally doing 1 hr cardio and lifting for at least 30 mins. My np said I'm doing fine but I feel like I'm never hitting my goal! I see so many ppl sleeved around when I was already at goal! I'm so discouraged

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
