I am exactly the same weight and height! Sometimes 5 foot even? I will be getting sleeved with Dr. Quinones November 13th 2014. I am soooo excited!

Hi Sugarbee. I had my surgery on 4/8/14. My stats are as follows:

Pre-surgery: 219lbs

Day of surgery: 207lbs

8/3/14 (almost 4 months post op): 165lbs with 35lbs until goal

I am a slow loser due to not being able to get in my Protein and Water goals for the first 2.5 months. I had at least 2 stalls. I'm doing much better now that I can eat a tad bit more. My plan is to reach goal within the next 3-4 months, maybe sooner.

Good luck to you!

I'm 5'2 and started roughly around 200 lbs. I'm 4 months in and I am happy to report that I'm at 145.2lbs. The weight did not come off until about a month. Now I see at least a pound to two lbs drop each week.

Ok thanks for your reply thats great news makes me excited that your losing so well . What do you think jump started your loss since you werent losing at first?

I was stressed out those first few weeks. Once I learned that all my thoughts and worries and 3 wk stall were normal, I relaxed and let the sleeve take over. I didn't even start working out until after that month, and I still don't stress out about not going to the gym. If I can't make it, no biggie! I had/have problems still making my Protein goals, but I do what my body likes. My Doctors say my levels are normal, and when my body lets me eat more food, I will. I try to drink lots of Water , and that's it! Poof, it's coming off at its own pace. I'm just along for the ride! Yee haw!

If I can get past 20 pounds lost I will be happy! No matter what I do or try 20 pounds is all I can lose! So I will be very thankful for this tool once I receive it! I will be happy w whatever I can get lol!

Everything happens in divine order! #patience
