Six months surgiversary!

I sometimes walk by mirrors and have to do a double take!!

I have had friends not recognize me if they haven't seen me in a while!

I am filled with gratitude for Dr Aceves and his staff....

Six short months and I am down 160 lbs!

No complications!

I have not reached my goal yet but I am confident I will do so!

My life is so much better now... I wish I had not waited so long!!

Thank you all! There is no secret!! This is the first time in my life I am relaxed around food because no longer can I over eat.... Food is just food.... Energy.... While I can enjoy flavors.... My focus is different... My tastes are different.....no more worry over planning to stick with my diet and be good only to find something that tastes so good I just don't want to stop....I can not over eat... I am so grateful for Dr Aceves... My life has changed..... I welcome my baggy skin!!!

Trying on clothes is great!!

Tasting food at parties is enough.... I get full on the Costco samples!!

No more knee pain !!

No more shortness of breath!!

These results are for everyone with the courage to step into the light of Vertical Sleeve!!

Great job Moonrisen! You are a shining example of a successful sleever. I have no doubt you will reach your goal. I'm sure having such a great surgeon didn't hurt either :wub:
