I want to check in with my May 2012 sleeve buddies. Where y'all at? How are you doing? 2 more months to our big 1 year surgiversary!

My stats:

5'7. Starting weight: 338

DOS (5-18-12): 288

Current weight: 195

Total lost: 143 pounds.

From a jeans size 30 to a size 11/12, tops 30/32 to a LG!

Corset trunkplasty is planned for 1 week after my surgiversary. Plastic surgeon estimates 15-18 pounds of skin & fat will come off my stomach alone & will take me from a 12/14 to a 6/8.

This is the best decision I've ever made for myself!

Congrats all of you. It is so inspiring to read this, you give me courage and confidence.

Whoa!!! I missed this thread.

Well' date=' today is 1 year for me, and I'm doing great!!!

DOS 289

Current 184

I've lost 105 lbs in 1 year, I want to lose another 30-40lbs this year.[/quote']

Photos! Looking for your before and current... you have been in it to win it from the get go.

I was sleeved May 7, 2012. I am down 110 lbs now. Its great to be able to keep up with the rest of the 2012 May Sleevers!! I still want to lose 10 more lbs. Good Luck to Everyone!!

You are all an inspiration. I hope I am at goal in 1 year which is coming up fast. My husband is a trip. We go out and he walks behind me and keeps saying I look great. He says people would never recognize me from the rear. He says my butt and legs are so small. I must have been a real mess from the rear before LOL.

I'll have to post more pictures when I'm feeling better from my corset trunkplasty. I can't get over how tiny I look now that the 12 pounds of excess skin is gone!

Here's my updated before/after:

(Please ignore my oh so stylish bodysuit, I had the excess skin removed off of my stomach on 5-28-13)

_{Kristie how are you doing after your skin removal surgery? You look fantastic! I will need to have some repair work done as well with all of my excess skin, but I need to get to my goal and stabilize a bit. Did you go to Mexico for surgery or have it done in the states?}

_{Thank you! I am getting a little bit better every day. Since I had the surgery I'm down 15 pounds (he removed 12 pounds of skin). I had my surgery in Lexington Ky. I'm just not comfortable going to Mexico for something so major.}

I hope you are feeling well - I am a bit nervous about Mexico as well but it sounds as though many folks have had great success with those docs - I have a bit to go until I stabilize so I have plenty of time to consider all the options. I always wonder how much the extra skin weighs - it has got to be at least 10 lbs on each of my thighs.

I was sleeved in may 2013. Im stuck at 50 lbs down. Started at 224 now im 174.

Still happy but want more!

I am doing ok. I have had a complication develop with one of incisions & I have an abcess. Struggling to feel somewhat normal.
