One year - so many changes in my life - feeling physically better than ever and I am so happy I choose to have the sleeve.

As I read the topics of the newbies it helps me to remember how I felt before and at the beginning of this journey - it helps to re live the times when it was tough. Now this is a way of life for me and I am grateful to all of you for the support and camaradrie I found here.

Best wishes to all in whatever stage you are in; the time goes by fast and the weight keeps coming off - maybe slower but it comes off.

much love

Congrats on your surgiversay. You are doing great. I am only 7 months out, but I can already see that this is one of the best things I ever did.

Congrats to you! I am 11 months out yesterday and about where you are. I agree, this has been one of the best decisions I have made for myself. I feel great....finally! I really never had any hard time, I was lucky on that part. Best of luck to all the newer sleevers, you will too feel the same!

It's 5 weeks now, and I have lost 20lbs. Is this average?mimi8

Congratulations on your surgiversary! I am 9 days post op and hope that in one year I can look back and see all of the positives that you do too.
