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.

Great job! Thanks for sharing.

I had sleeve surgery on November 18, 2015. By May of 2016 I had dropped from 276 to 191. Since then I have stayed at 189-190. I use a similar strategy. I have a Premier Protein shake for breakfast, then a small lunch and a moderate dinner. I walk between 3 and 5 miles a day which I could have NEVER done in the past. My next big life change will be to start weight training.
