I had my sleeve 1/31/12. I started my journey in 2010 to have wls it took two years. I weighed the day of my surgery 228. I now weigh 126. At my highest when I started was 267. I was approved in Dec,2011 for bypass then discovered last min sleeve was now covered so I switched. It is had work and education but I have no regrets. It took awhile fir weight to really come off.slow is good made me work harder. Good luck to all new comers!

It is great to see you have had great success. Thank You for sharing. Now Pre op, I look to inspiration such as this to be excited about my surgery date and hard work I will be facing.
