I got my date (October 15th) and my insurance approval. I'm excited and nervous. Who else is being sleeved in October?

Well today I hit 70 pounds lost I feel great

Sleeved October 7th, 2013, three months ago and down 85 pounds :-) Feel great and no complication! Everyone looks great!

I have gotten an amazing support system here on Bariatric Pals and figured I would give this a shot as well. Being sleeved in October of last year I've gotten pretty close to some people on here and have received a lot of support. There is currently a Fundraiser being held for a medical devise I am in need of called a WalkAide which the insurance company has denied. This device is a life changer for me. Below is the link to read my brief story. ANY help would be beyond appreciated, every dollar is a step towards my getting the device! Thank you all for all the support you have given me and keep up the amazing work!!!

Well I had my 3 month check up and the doc said I'm doing great I'm down 70 pounds but I'm stalled out again and I told home I want to be below 300 by end of February so he said go back in my shakes and they will do it so for the month of February I will be strictly on shakes must reach this goal failure not an option

70 pounds in 3 months is awesome. Why so much pressure for February?

Way to go!

Ok cool. The way I read it I thought your doctor wanted you to go back to shakes. More power to you!!

Na it was his suggestion if I wanted to meet my goal to hit that under 300 mark by the end of the month to do that and since I can't eat much anymore anyway shakes will be easy

Before and after so far left me 1 week before surgery right today
