Hi everyone!! I was sleeved 12/5/12. Today is my Surgiversary. I'm 5'4". I started out at 227 day of surgery. I'm down to 151. My Doctors goal weight for me was 150. Although I'm very pleased with my weight right now, I want to lose 11 more pounds to get to my personal goal and hopefully a size 6. I wear a size 8 pants and medium shirt and they're starting to get a little loose. I absolutely love my sleeve and am so grateful for the quality of life it has given me as well as the health benefits. My primary care physician cannot believe all of the health issues that have disappeared with my weight loss (high blood pressure, low oxygen level, joint pain, asthma, etc)! I'm posting my before pic from the night before surgery and a pic my husband took tonight. All I can say is thank God for the sleeve!

You look so good! It's wonderful to have a face to associate with all those posts. Comgrats

Thanks GG! I love all of your posts. I'm not one of those people that write so eloquently or give real wise advice so I usually just stick to the basics and try to support. I really love this site though and love reading all of the posts that everyone makes.
