Hello fellow sleevers,

I was sleeved on 2/29/16 and I have to say even with some of the minor complications, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made for "myself".

Being a dedicated wife and mom, everyone else became a priority and before I knew it I had ballooned up to around 274 and at 46, it was affecting my health.

Anyway, at my heaviest and while waiting for surgery approval I would browse this website for encouragement and I would find it. I wanted to post my before and after pics to hopefully encourage someone else.

Btw... I am 5'8 and my health has dramatically improved (woo hoo). I would still like to lose another 15-20 pounds...

@@LxA, Thank you! I actually think I'm a pretty slow loser (compared to others that were in my Kaiser Wls class) but right now I'm eating 850 calories or less per day. I hope this helps

@@sushi4winks, CongratsThe first 10 days were probably the hardest for me but it was only because I was having trouble keeping anything down, after that though I was good to go. I'm hoping your recovery is quick and easy!!! Good luck and this is a very exciting time for you

@@Ale Nunez, Thank you!!! Happy one and a half month surgiversary I hope things are going great for you and your finding your swing. I didn't think I could be a motivation to anyone, especially regarding weight but the sleeve has been an amazing tool for me and I know it will be for you too

@Dub. Your absolutely right, Wls has totally given me a new lease on life...

My hubby begged me for years to ride a motorcycle with him but I always let my weight stop me, well guess who's a "Motorcycle Chick" now hahaha. I'm riding with him and we love doing it together and I'm very thankful for my sleeve.

I truly feel like I'm at least 10 years younger too, I'll be 47 next month and don't feel a day over 35 lol so they're are plenty of positives!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
