I had my sleeve done in September 2013. It's been 8 months since surgery and I have lost 122 pounds. I came from 350, BMI of 52 to 228, BMI 33. I walked into surgery wearing size 28 pants and a 30/32 top and today i noticed my size 18's were a little saggy in butt! I walked 4.5 miles today before I got tired and that in and of itself is a miracle! I'm so glad I made the decision to have this procedure, it has helped me so much. Though I am doing well, I struggle EVERY DAY to make good food choices. I'm (head) hungry all the time for all the wrong foods and it's a constant battle. Some days I lose, but most days I do well.

My original goal was to get to the size I was in junior high school, size 18. But now that I'm here, I've readjusted my goal to a "normal" BMI of 24, which means I have 63 pounds to go.

I thank all of you for your support as I silently stalk all of your posts. They help me stay on track and stay motivated to be better

I had my surgery now and I prey can do as good a job as you have. Wish me luck on my week 2.

Wow!! You are my new inspiration! I am 5'9", 348, BMI of 52 right now. I don't see too many folks in here with stats so similar to mine. My surgery scheduled for the 1st of July. Your success will definitely be fuel for my fire! I wish you all the best with your new goal - I know you can make it happen. Please keep posting updates of your progress!
