Naysayers

Hi everyone. I an getting super close to my surgery and I have been experiencing a lot of Naysayers regarding the sleeve saying you don't lose as much and the weight loss is slow.

BTW I am currently 364 and 5'5 I know weight and height also makes a difference.

I'm 1 year out. Started at 275 and now 157 today. Lost most in first 8 months. I'm at doc goal but 12 ponds from personal goal of 145.

Just do what you want to do for yourself..This is your life not theirs!

I have lost 20% of my bodyweight, I'm off all of the meds I was on pre-surgery, and I can do so much that just exhausted me before. I can walk with my bf and not feel like I'm slowing him down.
