I was sleeved on July 18th....Starting weight: 254lbs, 5"2........I'm now 224 lbs so I'm down 30lbs but I've been in a stall for almost 3 weeks!! It's frustrating!!! Anyways I hope the scale will start moving again sooon!! Besides that my experience so far has been life changing. It was rough in the beginning but I would do it all over again... It is soooo worth it! I cannot waiiit to get below 200.....it's been sooo many years since I've seen those numbers lol....anyways--tell me your story :-) Good luck to everyone! Xoxo

I was sleeved on July 31st. I have lost 33 pounds so far. This is the best thing I have ever done. My fingernails have grown a huge amount since my surgery & I feel healthier also. I went to my 1st Weight loss support group last night. It was awesome. Everyone there had the sleeve' date=' lap band or gastric bypass.[/quote']

That is too funny my fingernails are super long too. I was sleeved on July 30th :-)

My doctor was surprised that my fingernails grew so much after my surgery. Do you know why they grew so much? I have never had long fingernails in my life. Maybe I was lacking in protein before my surgery and didn't realize it.

Do you take Biotin? It causes nail to grow as well as hair.

Yes I do twice a day. I had been taking it before my sleeve however my fingernails started growing after my sleeve. After my sleeve I started drinking 45 grams of Protein with my Water every day. Plus the protein that I eat. Could it be the protein?

I love to hear the stories! I was sleeved on July 24th and 35 lbs are gone! It was defnitely rough in the beginning but I already feel better! I just went through walmart and there was chocolate everywhere...didn't phase me!
