Hello my.new existing family, i have been overweight for years as a child into the young lady I am now,up until the life changing event that has taken on oct.8 2012 and i am 2weeks post-op. I am,new to this forum,25 yrs old and i have one daughter any one with a similar story let.me know...congrats to you all.

Welcome Quianna! I have been extreemly overweight as a child and just kept packing on the poounds through out the years. I got sleeved Sept 27th at 327 pounds and I am so happy to see the scale moving downward! This is a challenging journey but it is SO rewarding!!

Tamara thank you for responding,congrats to u as well,i am sooooo excited for myself cause i tried so hard to.get to this.point and yesssssss the scale is moving down for me also.2wees post.op and i feel greeeaaattttt...how much weight have u lost so far if.you dont mind answering???

I actually had a 2 week Stall but I am still very happy because since surgery a month ago I have lost 21 pounds! I started getting so upset and frustrated with myself during the stall and "slow weightloss" but then I really put things back in perspective. If I do my best and lose 20 pounds a month or close to it, I will be down 100 in 6 months!!! How crazy is that?!?! I

Isn't it exciting to see the scale moving downward? I know I would not have been able to lose weight and keep it off without my new little tool. I am so thankful for it

life changing event, 2weeks post-op.

welcome to the sleeve board

the one thing all of us have in common - we all started this journey being overweight - or "pleasingly plump"

2 weeks PO - you'll get alot of advise/help from other sleevers - lots of good info to absorb

then you jump in again with your questions

take care

speedy recovery

see you around the Water cooler

Thanks to both of you,i actually lost 20lbs so far since oct 8 so u.and i tamara are coming along for.the best.
