I am 70. Had my surgery 12/31/15, 6 months ago. Sw 223, cw 173. So glad I had the sleeve. Back pain is gone, meds cut way back. Insulin cut way back. Want to lose at least 15 more pounds.

How old were you? What was your starting weight, how much have you lost?

Hi.. I am 34 years old. Tomorrow is my 1 month mark... down 27 lbs from 240. People keep telling me its unhealthy to lose weight that fast. I think its more unhealthy to keep it around. B)

This has been possible with the help of internet. I read motivational stories that people share regarding their weight loss journey. These health news & stories are what keeps me going.

I was 54 at surgery. My high was 276. Pre surgery I got down to 259. Surgery was December 2015 and I am currently about 216.

Yes it is coming off much slower now. Truth be told my goal was 190. If I don't lose other pound, I am ok with that. I look and feel SO much better!
