I am that warped person that kept my band after removal! So far, so good with everything. This was the best decision that I could have made. I can now eat healthier food without that stuck feeling and I don't have the acid and back pain issues that I used to have! It took removing 60-70% of my stomach for me to feel normal again. BEST. DECISION.EVER.

I had my band removed last year and I'm going for sleeve next week, I'm so happy to hear this because I hated getting stuck w the band, I felt like eating healthier foods were harder to eat than crappy food to get down.

I hope all went well with your sleeve! I am still amazed by how much better sleeved life is than band life. It is a little difficult the first few weeks, but once you get back to normal food, life is so much better!

How about another update? 140lbs down. I'm actually in training to become a Barre instructor. Who would have thought that the girl who once had to ride a motorized cart around a grocery store, the girl who couldn't find cute clothes because she was just too big, the girl who was out of breath after 1 flight of stairs, would be fit enough to be asked by her instructors to be a Barre instructor? I love to workout. I love to take the stairs. I love to make my friends have walking dates with me instead of lunch dates. I'm that girl! I'm working on extreme fat loss to be in optimal shape for my skin removal surgery. Life is great! The sleeve and my new found ability to not get "stuck" on healthy foods is incredible! Seriously!!

So glad to hear this!! Congrats girl, you are rocking it!!

I just had my band out 2 weeks ago and feel SO much better, but I am currently appealing a denial for the sleeve. If the appeal doesn't work I'm getting my own health insurance through my employer who will cover it, so hopefully by next spring I'll be sleeved.

Your posts are so motivational. I am so proud of you!!!!

Thank you! I want everyone to feel like I feel. Good luck to you on the approval. Getting rid of the band really changes quite a bit, right?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
