  • Popular Post

156lbs gone! Started out 326 lbs and sitting at 170 today. So ready to see what the 160's feel like~ If you are on the fence and wondering if the sleeve works........YES it does :) I was sleeved 8/31/13 in Mexico by Dr. Illan, Baja Bariatrics in Tijuana. Would do it over and over again! LOVE my sleeve and my new life. Protein, protein, protein and Water,water,water :) Wearing mostly 12's and medium tops but I did fit in a size 8 pants! They may have had a little more stretch BUT they were still an 8! LOL whatever works baby.................HAPPY SLEEVING :)

Congrats on your huge loss so far! Your life must be 100% different than it was just a year ago. So many changes! So many great experiences! I can't wait to be where you are next year!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!

Fabulous progress and I'll bet you feel so much better.

I'm so happy for you :)

Hoping I'll reach that goal weight but I'm taking one day at a time-keep on doing what I'm supposed to do.

Blessings,

Kathleen

Excellent, I am closing in on the 100 lb mark. 9 lbs to go.

That exactly what I weighed at my first appt with Dr Kim 326! I'm down 50 lbs on my preop liquid diet and am schedule for surgery Dec 1st. What were some of your biggest struggles in the early days? How is your skin if I can ask. I'm already seeing a lot of sagging. I've been this way for years so I don't expect to get out of this without needing some plastic surgery.

My biggest struggle was constipation. Other than that it was really smooth sailing. I had brachioplasty 6 weeks ago in Mexico because my arms were HUGE. That was a breeze as well. I hope to get TT and boob for Christmas. My thighs are a hot mess but as long as I don't wear short shorts I'm okay.
