I was 52 in 2012 when I had the sleeve. I was 275 pounds. I lost 90....and have since gained back 5. Yep. After 4 years, I am still 190. My initial goal was 200. Four years later, I am still 190. I have hovered right at 185-190.

The Sleeve changed my life. I get up at 4am daily and walk 5 miles before work. I still Protein load and carb avoid. I drink a LOT of Water daily.

For me, the Sleeve has worked.....and continues to work. I was pre-diabetic before. Now, my doc says I have the health of a 30-year-old.

That's awesome!!! So happy for your continued success!!

Your story inspires me. Are you going to get rid of any more?

Thank you for sharing!

He seems to be at goal weight, so why would he get rid of more?

Love hearing from people years out, thanks for sharing and great job at maintaining.

My take-a-way is to never stop doing what we were taught ( protein first, exercise, water..got it!)

Your story is wonderful. I pray that my story will be wonderful. Congrats

Heavens no. I want to stay between 185 and 192. I am not sure I could lose more than that.

That is how it has worked for me. Protein Shakes for breakfast and snacks.....meat for lunch and dinner. Protein bars for the occasional snack.

Our office has donuts or bagels every Wednesday. I am proud to report I have never ever partaken.

Thanks so much for sharing your journey. I'm 52 and was sleeved @235lbs July 26th. Today I'm 200lbs. I was wondering what my future may hold in terms of keeping the weight off.

well, I gave my strategy. Also this: when you feel full, stop eating. You do not want to stretch your stomach back out. After 4 years, I still cannot eat a whole hamburger or steak. I still get full very fast.
