Alright December Sleevers, I'm hoping that this title brings more people in so we can follow and encourage each other through our journeys.

I am 40. I'm 5'4" and about 308 right now. I'd like to get to a healthy BMI which would be around 145. I'm hoping for a December 4th or 5th date with Dr. William Johnson.

Everyone introduce yourselves!

SW 248

CW 181

Sleeved on 12/26 and I have only lost 25 lbs. I am beyond frustrated. I am hypothyroid and have struggled since the surgery to get my dosage right. I think I finally have achieved that but I need to do something to jump start me again.

I feel the same way. Sleeved December 3 and only lost 46 pounds.

Good Morning December sleevers! I was sleeved December 20, 2013.. My starting weight was 335 and I am currently 237! Only a couple more pounds until the 100 mark! This has been an amazing journey! The beginning was difficult and at time I definitely second guessed my judgement, but all in all I would do it all over again.. I was a size 26 and now I am in a size 18... Excited to see so many December sleevers! Keep up the great work guys!

Starting weight: 335

Current weight: 237

Total lost: 98 lbs

Just reached my 6 months, June 13. I'm down 93 from preop and 99 from highest.

I'm 5'4" and down from a 26/28 to a 16 pants and 18/20 tops.

6 months from surgery date!!! Down 128 pounds!!! Go me!!!

I had my six month check-up today and I've lost 85lbs which equals 60% of my weight which puts me ahead of the curve. YEAH! I understand that the six month average is around 50%. I was worried because my weight loss has slowed down in the last six weeks but I'm right on course. I must remember that this is my journey, and I can't compare with others. I see all of these high numbers of weight loss and think I'm not doing well but this just isn't true. WOW, the games our heads can play with us. I feel so much better now especially since I only have 24 more pounds to my goal weight. I'm so happy that I made this decision, and changed my life, and health for the better. HW: 264, SW: 147 CW: 179. Goal 155 BMI < 25.

Today is my 6 month SURGIVERSARY!!! I am down 68lbs!!!!

GW: 150

Just made our 6 month anniversary of our sleeves! It has been an exciting short journey!!! I am down 72 lbs since day of surgery and just came out of a two week stall! Leaving on a cruise tomorrow so hopefully I lose some more and not gain!

Just had my six-month checkup at almost six months. I've lost 62% of my additional weight (my Docs longterm goal for me) and dropped my blood pressure into normal range without meds.

My Doc walked into the room and was obviously surprised and pleased by my appearance and the results. It's a great feeling to have come this far in six months!
