Hey folks. I was looking to set up a thread for July 2014 sleevers. I believe the other threads were originally back in 2013.

I just had my surgery on July 2. I'm SO glad I did this. My breaking point was being diagnosed with high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and a host of other problems. I put on another 30 pounds from October to February of this year. I was a good 185 and quit smoking. I ballooned up to 305. I'm self pay and I got to 278 during my pre-surgery.

Since the surgery, I don't think I've been hungry, but I'm still dealing with the healing process. My first postop is Thursday. My only complaint is the low energy level. I knew it was coming, but wow.

I'd like to hear from those who started their life change this month. I am also hoping this can be a thread we can keep tabs on each other, as well as provide motivation when we need it

@@FairySleeve you are doing awesome, I can't wait until I am in a size medium....

@@n0ble199, You look great, keep up the good work.....

Thanks!! @@Lady Rock

Congrats that's so great

Thanks you guys, you'll get there. Keep up good work and think positive, your body will eventually agree with you lol.

This month since 1st October my weight has been swinging back and forth between 170-171 I guess it doesn't want to let go of the 70s lol.

I aimed a mini goal to reach 165 lbs by the end of October but it's ok, I don't rush

Congrats!!!!

I'm 12 weeks out and was going between 191-192 and today is my weigh day (only once a week) so when I got on the scale and saw 189 I was elated!! Having the sleeve was the best decision ever, I'm almost down 60lbs and loving my new life ????

Woohoo!!! I've alreadt been through half way to goal.

59 lbs lost, 59 lbs to go!!

I was sleeved on July 28. Had almost a one month stall that finally broke a few weeks back. It was a bit discouraging, but the new and SMALLLER clothes don't lie! There's no race to the finish line. I just need a balance I can maintain for LIFE. (With some more new and smaller clothes)

Peace all!

I also was sleeved on July 28th and am thrilled to report that I feel healthy, strong and empowered. Sleevie has given me the ability to control a facet of my life that was out of control for so many years. Every day I try to make the best choices, while also gaining insight into the stressors that I managed for years by overeating. It's quite a ride, but so exciting and every bit worth it. Good luck to all of my fellow July Sleevers.

That is amazing I am very happy as well with my choice to be sleeved I'm looking forward to my new life

I was had my sleeve done July 8th and i would not change my decision for anything. I have lost 61 pounds since i started the whole process started. I feel better about my self since i had the surgery. My self esteem has went out.

I was also sleeved July 28th. It has already changed my life for the better in so many ways. I have had no complications and amazing results. Of course it's not magic and it takes alot of hardwork and life changes but that's what I wanted when I made the decision to have the surgery. Keep on trucking sleevers.

Today I met the girl who reccommended her surgeon to me, she's around 9 months out and looked A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Thanks to her who revealed her secret (her colleague had done it a few years back but she never told me) and I feel so grateful for her because I didn't have a clue about WLS.

It was the first time we saw each other since surgery and she was so happy for me, we were gigling a little while talking aboyt our McDreamy (our cute and talented surgeon) we really like him. And the sleeve has changed our lives completely, in the better condition. :-)

I am a july sleeved. I had it done July 28th. I am down 43 lbs.
