So after a six month period of dietary counseling, research, and preop testing, my husband and I both got sleeved on 12/19. Like most people, we had second thoughts right before and right after the surgery, but we both are now delighted by our results. We are working the program and he has lost 45 and I am at 38 lbs since our first visit in May 2012. There is still work to be done but I feel like a new person. I wish to extend my thanks to all on the forum. Many of my questions were answered and there are so many stories of successes that have lent encouragement. Happy and healthy 2013 to all my fellow sleevers!

My wife and I both had surgery, me with the sleeve, her with a Gastric Bypass. She has met and passed her goal, I am 1 pound away.

We hug a lot. We are having a hard time getting used to our arms going all the way around.

Hi fire water, glad to hear you guys are loving your sleeve. Keep up the good work.
