I'm a December sleever! I'm 16 weeks post op, and have lost 44 pounds. I feel great. I'm at a plateau, but I believe that this will pass in a few weeks. I really have no craving other than for peanut butter!

By the way, had the sleeve surgery on December 23.

Sleeved 12/29, down 76 lbs, feeling energetic, my brain won't shut down when I need to sleep, I haven't been getting anywhere near my goal in protein or water the past two weeks, and my hair is falling out like crazy!! =/

I totally feel you!!! Hang in there.

I'm 4 months post surgery, sleeved December 17th. Down 47 lbs, and I feel better than I have in years.

I may be loosing a little bit of hair, it's hard to tell because of the menopausal hair loss I've had for the past year. I'm not sure how to tell the difference. I had a little bit of bleeding gums, but I increased my Vitamin C with a chewable and it seemed to do the trick.

I feel so good, I have no complaints. I'm happy that I made the decision to have this surgery.

July 11 will be 7 months post op. I'm down 92 pounds. I'm finding I still perceive myself as really overweight. Picking out clothes is a little shocking as I go down a size every 30-45 days.

I was sleeved December 30th 2014 and have lost 48 lbs. About a month ago my hair started falling out like crazy, thankfully I have very thick hair so it hasn't been that noticeable but hoping it slacks off soon! I feel like my weight loss has been so slow. I am thankful for what I have lost but it is very frustrating going a month and having lost only a pound.

My hair loss has evened out. I also had it cut short (a little too short) but it will grow out before it gets cold. You are probably losing inches. I stick to protein and veggies. I hardly ever eat carbs except for a sandwich once or twice a month.

My hair loss has also slowed down. I've lost 113 lbs since surgery on 12/29. I was stuck at the same weight for about a month, at 6 month, but I lost major inches within that time
