Almost 8 months out exactly, and I have hit my goal weight! Woo hooooo!!! This is just the beginning, I know, but it feels GREAT! I love this little sleeve of mine! It truly has been a journey, and at times rather challenging, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. It has been the best decision I ever made for my health and my life.

Thanks to all you out there in forum land for all the posts and advice and support. Couldn't have done this without you. Cheers!

Keep on keepin' on, sleevers!

That's wonderful progress, great job!!!

These are amazing stories! I was sleeved just the 14 of January and I saw my surgeon for follow up today he told me if I don't lose to my goal weight in 6 months I've failed the sleeve? That this tool works best in 6 months and the rest is maintaining! So to hear your losing still encourages me! He said if I don't work out and burn 1000 calories a day I won't lose? Wow do you work out this much?? I love your stories I was day if surgery 224 now 210 stalled for a week now and am freaking out!

Your surgeon sounds so "nice." Don't fall for his pressure. People keep losing weight after 6 months. Just do what you are suppose to and you'll be fine. He's been watching too much of the biggest loser.
