Hello, sleeves or soon to be. I had gastric sleeve surgery in May 2015.y weight before surgery was 247, today October 21, I am at 195. A total loss of 52 pounds in almost five months. After gastric sleeve I caught a massive and I do mean massive infection called cellulitis. Within 3 days, it was all over my entire stomach. Landed me back in the hospital for a week and a half. Then they let me go home with a pick in my arm.( needle in right arm that leads to main vein in the heart.) Had a nurse come by 2xs a week and I administered my own meds everyday day for almost 2 months. As of today, I take diebetes meds now, never did b4. But, I do not regret my surgery. And I have an excellent doctor who performed the surgery. He's been there every step of the way. And calls to make sure I'm doing fine. His name is doctor Reginald Griffin. I don't know if my weight loss progress is good but for me it is. I see some weight loss happening, but come on I'm a shortly.

@@melanievr78 - I also had surgery in May 2015, I started out at 266 (doctors weight, my HW was 282) and I am now at 194. It that gives you an idea of where someone at 5'8", 52 y/o woman is in her journey....sounds like you are moving along quite well even with the cellulitis.

Yes, but I actually started losing in July because the cellulitis stressed out my body
