I was have a shower today and when I was shaving my legs I noticed that I had a back and a butt.

I wasn't moving parts around, I wasn't kinking my neck and I surely wasn't fighting my rolls to shave my legs...

I found it, lol I found that when I look behind me I don't have move folds and rolls, now I can see behind me straight down to my feet!

I love it, still have some roll but not as much as before! Love love my sleeve:)

Oh and I found that my hair no longer falls out at 7 months but find little pieces sticking up every where like I have static cling, and those are my little hairs growing back:)

Just wanted to share my happiness:)

Thanks ladies it is awesome! I love seeing things that I have not seen either ever or for a very long time!

Loosing 91 pounds so far has made me find things are possible and can't wait to experience more! It's kind of like a treasure hunt!

Hope you guys are enjoying your sleeve, and are doing well! I also love the fact I can tie my shoes without wanting to pass out! ;) congrats on the victories so far ^^^^ ladies!

Oh I call it the dreaded fast tie... When you take a deep breath hold and tie that shoe as fast as possible!

My first such stunning revelation was when I could finally paint my own toenails! The heavier I got, the farther away they seemed to move!

Yes that's the part of it I line too, I no longer have to ask my boyfriend or my daughter to paint my toes, I love that...

I actually love the fact I can see my toes, this is awesome.

I have noticed the same too! Love it! I love being able to use a regular sized towel to cover my body and not have to use a beach towel that barely fit! I also like that I dont fill up the whole bathtub too! SOOOO many good things about having this sleeve! Best thing I have done for myself! (and my husband is benefiting from my new self confidence)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
