As of 9 months post op I am 107 pounds lighter. I visited my surgeon the other day and he walked into the exam room and did a double take. He said he almost walked out, thought he was in the wrong room and did not recognize me. Said I looked like an athlete. very emotional I am so happy with my sleeve but a few strange problems have occurred. I am having increased hot flashes, and my antidepressant no longer works. My Dr discussed why this is happening. Fat stores hormones and my antidepressant breaks down in fat. Less fat= less hormones and less efficacy of my antidepresssant. Here I am in size 8 and I am so sad. Hopefully just tweaking my antidepressant and adding estrogen will help. Anyone else having similar problems?

good job!
