Hi I wanted to post this so the August ppl can log our success and weight lost so far..

My Surgery date 8/8/2013

highest weight was 220, surgery weight 213, current weight 195

All in all I've lost a total of 25 pounds and so happy I lost 7 pounds on my two week preop than the rest the first week post op.. I was stuck at 196-200 until yesterday and now I have lost another pound and that makes me happy to know that the scale started moving back the right direction again!!

I would live to hear from other August sleevers

So I found a pic of me at my friends bday party in feb. ( when I started this process) and I took a pic of me today. I can see a difference in my upper body and face ... Which means more will follow.

You look beautiful. Can totally see a difference!!

Surgery 3 weeks ago today - down 19 lbs and moving to soft foods tomorrow.

Question: Any of you August sleevers (3 - 4 weeks out) still having pain around incisions on your right side? It is strictly muscle wall pain - very, very sharp and painful when I get up from bed or chair, or even walking at brisk pace. Sometimes sharp stabbing in that same vicinity while doing nothing at all.

The pain there is where your surgeon pulled out the remnant stomach. That is the one that takes the longest to heal, and it does feel like a stabbing pain. He also does most of the work out of that site. The trochanter is larger.
