I believe the shots will be available in June sometime. At this time, I do not know if they can be reposted here and will ask about that. If not, I will definitely provide the online link.

I will post some before and after as soon as I find a good before photo. Currently am on vacation this week, but will do it when I return home next week.

Here's my before and "almost after" photo, still have 37 lbs to go. I have lost 120 lbs in 11 months!

Can't see the photos

Yes, I would definitely have the surgery again! It's been easier than I ever imagined. My husband is a diabetic and is overweight. He was like you're crazy but was still supportive. Now he is in the process of being approved for surgery.

Nope. I put my life at risk and now my marriage is at risk. Not worth it.

sorry to read that, I hope you can save your marriage

Nope sure wouldn't do it again way 2 much work remember 2 take vitamins get in enough protein etc.. just 2 much should've tried harder 2 do it on my own now I have to do this 4 the rest of my life I just pray that it gets easier no one ever talks about all u go through physically & emotionally its not a walk in the park its stressful & annoying

Didn't you meet with a nutritionist before surgery?

I was told my post-op diet would consist mostly of protein and that I would have to take daily vitamins -- I was not surprised! Honestly taking vitamins and eating protein are 2 very minor things to gain my health and life back!!

This has been really easy for me. I was well educated about what to expect after the surgery and I don't find it hard to take my vitamin and getting in my protein. Now water is a different story. I do have to work at getting my water in. It is a struggle at first but it does get easier. The sleeve is just a tool, nothing else. I couldn't lose the weight before and keep it off, now today I'm down to my lowest of 140.8. Yahoooooooooooooo! Love my sleeve and for me, it's easy........

Yes Is being one of the best decisions I have ever made

I've gone back and been reading some of the posts. Anna, I hope things are going better for you. But, I think you probably saved your life with surgery. I know I did, not just save my life, but get living back. Some of us, our lives were more at risk before surgery than after. I never thought I would ever have weight loss surgery. But hey, sometimes you have to just cut to the chase and go for the gusto, instead of messing around trying and not succeeding.

My husband has been so-so with the support. He was there at the hospital when I had the surgery, but left me alone for the two days I was there until I came home. Says he can't abide hospitals. Well, he is more supportive now, but that doesn't mean we aren't on issues over this sometimes. He found out the other day, he now has a BMI of 30, which makes him, yes, yes, OBESE. So, he's having his issues.

However, I am almost completely pain free now, and am learning to slow my life down and enjoy not just meals, but everything...Again, I hope this finds your life going so much better. I'll keep praying for you and everyone here.
