SEPTEMBER 2014 POST-OP SLEEVERS CHECKING IN!

[3Pugaliers 30]

It is so exciting to see everyone doing so well! I was sleeved on 9/30 and have lost 103. I have been in maintenance for about 2 months now and I'm loving this decision. It is the best thing I have ever done for myself.

_{I was sleeved on 9/23/14. Best decision ever!! My starting weight was 329, my surgery weight was 310. I am now at 220, that's 109 pounds! I never, in my wildest dreams, thought this would work the way it has. My family has a bad history when it comes to medical procedures. They almost never work out the way they are supposed to. Imagine my surprise that this is actually working!! I am no longer morbidly obese either, just obese now. LOL My surgeon's CRNP was thrilled to tell me that on my last visit. Keep up the good work everyone!}

Good morning! It's been a long time since I've posted! Just to give an update, I am a 4"11 female, I was sleeved 9/26/14 my highest weight was 228. On the day of surgery I was 217 as of today 8/10/15, I am 166.3! I'd do it again in a heartbeat and I've influenced 5 people of whom I've shared my journey with, to have or at least inquire about this procedure....

[vickydp 20]

Sleeved 9/23 and weighed 259 at my highest. I'm down to 174 and have never felt better!! Best decision ever!! Running my first half marathon 11/8 when a year ago I couldn't climb a flight of stairs without dying. Congrats to all my fellow sleevers!

[sweetlia 11]

we have made it !! one year now.

my experience has been rocky but the results are great.

I still suffer from heartburn and i don't know when that will be over.

I am still struggling to eat but hopeful that things will get better.

Cheers to us!

Sleeved 9/8/14 with a starting weight of 255, I wasn't made to do a pre-op diet so that's where I was the day of surgery.

I'm 6 day from one year out and currently sitting at 156lbs, 1lb away from 100lbs lost. This has been an amazing journey and I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat, If I could sooner..

[Pamela870 21]

I was sleeved on 9/17/15 starting weight of 242. I am currently at 164. I did my first 5K in August. I feel fabulous. I still have 14lbs to go to my goal weight and have been stalled for about 2 months. I meet with my doctor and nutritionist in 2 weeks. Hope they have some suggestions. I need to get back to the gym on a regular basis as I have been slacking through the summer. Great job to you all. I would do it again in a heartbeat

[kathy078 17]

I was sleeved on 9/24 At my heaviest I am down 177 pounds and since surgery 75 pounds. Would have been more but I have not made many good choices this summer. Now that summer is over and hopefully weather cooler I need to walk more and make better food choices. At least I haven't gained weight.

[KristenLee 60]

Sleeved on 9/29/14 - lost 90 pounds thus far! Some ups and own, but no regrets! Feel great and actually enjoy shopping for clothes now! Great job fellow sleevers!!

[facorsig 36]

Sleeved 9/11. Down 152 pounds from 361 to 209. Did my first 100 mile bike ride last Saturday. Won't be my last.

[SheriL1 10]

Doing great! Down 110 pounds. From size 24 to size 14. Still want lose more but feeling so wonderful without the extra weight. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

[Pwfnp 20]

Sleeved 9/23 down over 120 lbs. 295 to 175. Best decision I ever made for myself. No retreats

[Torytots2 7]

I was sleeved 9/24/14. My starting weight was 236 at 5'8". I'm currently 160 for a total weight loss of 76 pounds. I feel wonderful!! I never take the elevator at work (or anywhere else for that matter) anymore. I would like to get to 150 but loved ones think I'm too "skinny" now. That's a word I'm still trying to get used to, especially at work. "Skinny Minnie" has been designated as my new nickname in passing small talk with coworkers. I hate it because I don't feel I've reached my full potential weight loss, but public opinion can be a evil beast to your confidence and determination. I'm so thankful everyone is in a better place than we were a year ago! I'm sending up joyful prayers to all of my September 2014 sleevers!! May you all continue to be successful!
