Five and a half years out

Hi All, It has been years since I have been on and I thought I'd stop by. Aug 24 2010 was a game changer for me. Its hard to believe its been over five years but my sleeve is still working. I still feel the restriction and can not overeat pizza I'd get sick if I ate two slices. Cheeseburger can not eat more then half. Need to lose a couple eat soup for dinner. Such a wonderful tool.

    Awesome to hear! Thank you for checking in and letting us know you're still going strong!

  • Keep in touch. It seems like every day there are concerns that pop up that only veterans with at least a year under their belt can answer.

Did you have the lap band first?

No I never had the band. Someone just told me my profile said that I don't know why will have to figure out how to change it.

I am happy to hear your news. Thanks LunaRose. I came on this site specifically looking for stories of people who have been 5+ years out of surgery. This is very helpful. :)
