Just got the my date today, Sept. 21st - I'm excited and nervous all at once! Having a date makes this whole journey so real. Up to now I was just following instructions and now it like... WOW, this really is happening NOW!

Des I'm so happy you decided to move forward with your surgery, you'll have no regrets! You will soon see it was the best decision you have ever made.

September Sleevers please post updates on how you are doing!

I'm about 2 mths post-op HW 243, SW 221, CW 200. I feel great, I've had no complications after surgery. I watch what I eat, but I'm satisfied. I'm no longer on cholesterol medications and I was taken off 2 of my blood pressure meds and I'm no longer at the threshold for diabeties. This surgery was the best decision I've ever made! I'm very happy with the results and its only going to get better!

I too am doing great post op! I have no regrets at all. I'm down a total of 47 pounds and I am feeling great. I still eat too fast once in awhile and my new tummy let's me know. Other than that no problems at all.☺

I am just at six weeks post op. I was done at the end the very end of September.

Highest weight 376

Surgery weight 319

Today's weight 282.4

Doing really well so far and feeling good. Finally feeling back to normal, a new normal but it's good. I didn't have any health issues really but by blood pressure was on verge of being high and now it's low end of normal. ????

I'm at the cinema snacking on sparkling water and some fruit I smuggled in. The seat feels enormous.... like huge!

Isn't that a great feeling? More than once, at a restaurant, I have had issues with the size of booths. I have noticed recently that I fit. It feels so good!

Wow! We all have soooo much positive feedback.... life is good!

first target achieved. current weight is 280lbs so i believe a rather large wohoooo is in order. next target is 100kg or 220 lbs.

☆☆☆Woohoo!!!!☆☆☆

Wtg Des!

Truly wishing you an event free surgery and a very speedy recovery. I look forward to hearing from you on the other side! You've got this Desmond ☺

So glad to hear it is finally happening for you. You'll do great, I'm sure. Have an easy surgery and rapid recovery!

Surgical stockings on (fortunately no assistance was needed as I managed to get the brutes on all by myself)

Surgery is likely to be before 10 and is a relatively brief 1 hr long affair. Be back on ward by lunchtime and will update when I'm feeling up to it.

Fyi thanks everybody for all your support. I feel even more supported by you guys than my lower legs currently are by all your lovely messages.

Adios all.

Thinking of you today, best of luck! <3

Waiting anxiously to hear how everything went with your surgery and wishing you a speedy recovery. Keep us posted as soon as you feel a lil better!
