I was sleeved on 8-27-12. Just 40 days ago. I am down 27 pounds since the day of surgery. I feel like I've had a spare tire surgically removed from my middle. I am so happy I did this for me!!

The week before surgery.

LOL that is so awesome to hear because i feel like I'm carrying around a spare tire in my abdomen and i'm so ready to be rid of it : )

I use to be thin many years ago and remember how good it felt to walk around and buy cute clothes.....I hate shopping now.....I cant wait for that to change.
