Just a quick update. I had surgery January 23, 2013. I weighed 274 and am 5 ft tall. Now, a little over 8 months out, I've lost 131 pounds and have 18 pounds to go to my goal! I weigh 143 right now. I'm really excited! I'm still not used to being smaller and I really don't see myself as being as small as I am until I see pictures! I feel great and have no health issues anymore! Love my sleeve!

Here's a before/now pic

You look fabulous! Keep it up.

Looking great..and I am sure feeling even better. Congrats on your success. That is a good motivation for me who has not had the surgery ..should be mid November for me.

It's the best thing I've ever done for myself!

Wow, that is amazing! You look great! Good job!

Wow nice! Congratulations you look wonderful.

What do you appreciate the most about your new weight vs your old weight.

You look fabulous!!! Are u working out as well?

I was working out the first 7 months but I've been lazy lately. I really need to get back into it though.

What do I appreciate most? hmmm... being able to move around better and fit in chairs, and shave my legs, and breathe better. There are so many things, but those are the biggest ones, I think.

I'm 4'11 and I am getting sleeved on November 25th. I weigh 240 and I want to lose 125. What did you do and what were some of your struggles?

Man! I know that feels good! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

You look amazing!!!!

Ohhhh, I cannot wait til I have your success!! You're looking amazing! Congrats to you!

Mom2five- I am about your weight and planning on having the surgery as as well. Can I ask you, do you work out a lot? From your picture I doesn't look like you have any saggy skin issues?

Way to go girl.

Congratulations!!! You have lost almost half of yourself, I hope you reach your goal
