Congrats to everyone, best thing that I did for myself and my family. NO REGREATS about this at all. Starting weight was 365 lbs, Surgery weight was 320 lbs, and 8 months post op I’m at 233 lbs. Would like to lose other 30 or so, but very happy where I’m at right now.

I was sleeved on May 1st.

Starting weight was 246

Current is 171. Im 5'11" and 38 years old. I couldn't be happier. My BMI in normal. People tell me I'm long and lanky! I love that! I wear a 10/12 and large shirts! I can wrap a pool towel around me! I can see my belly button. I don't mind if my husband runs his hands down my back cause I don't have back fat! Sex is better!

Sure I would love to have a flat stomach! But will I? probably not! I have had 3 kids! Do I worry about my hair! Yes it's so thin!

I take my vitamins everyday! Had a not so great 3 weeks around xmas but still lost a few pounds. Started back hitting 60+ calories of protein. And set a goal of doing Pilates everyday. Hope to strengthen my core and hopefully tighten my belly!

So glad to see this thread. I have friends that had the sleeve and they made sleeve friends and they stay in touch on here. Wish we May sleevers could stick together.
