Hi! I had surgery on 8/22/14, and have lost over 90 pounds! My surgery weight was 235, and now I'm 143-144 depending on the day

Other than some complications with reflux, it's been pretty easy. I was a bit of a slow loser, but none of that matters at this point I'm just learning to live in maintenence, and that's a whole new experience. Congrats on your loss! I'm so happy I did it!

Congrats on your success! That is an awesome loss! I'm 2 years post op (and a couple months) and I've lost 145 pounds and have been maintaining below my goal weight for over a year. It's always good to hear the success stories to remind us that it is indeed possible and possible long-term :-)

I had my surgery September 2014. I have lost 87 pounds. Starting weight was 222. Current weight this morning 135. Best decision I have ever made. My journey was very easy. No complications all.

It is awesome for all of us! I started out at 332.8 and I am now an even 210 lbs. it's amazing! The best part is buying new clothes. I now have fashion sense! Haha. I do have some reflux problems as well but hey I will take that.

Hi, Anthony. I was sleeved 8-18-2014, am now almost 15 months post-op, have lost 98 pounds and am now maintaining at 138 pounds.

I eat what I want -- and at least 1700 cals/day. I have learned so much about nutrition, eat well, follow all my new eating behaviors. I do still plan and track my food most days on My Fitness Pal, and I move and walk so much more than I used to.

I look so cute (!), and I'm loving my life. This surgery was just amazingly wonderful for me. The future's so bright I'm wearing shades every day!

(I'm 70 years old.)

Oh yeah I know about shopping haha. I pretty much do what I want too it's pretty awesome! It's great to feel different and better about myself. A couple of negatives that maybe you guys have dealt with. Dating is a little weird now. My family never thinks I eat enough ( they are all overweight and obese as I was). They push me to try and eat it's hard to explain to them otherwise. In the beginning it was frustrating buying clothes and then they would not fit in a month ( I know not really a problem). Pretty small problems to deal with. I gladly do it everyday and would make the same decision again
