Can I see some before and after pictures for the sleeve?

This was my last comparisons pictures from about 5 weeks ago. Pic to the right was about 6/7 years ago maybe 10 to 15lbs away from 600lbs. I was at or near my heaviest weight back then. And I'm now here in the 240-250's weight range. That what my sleeve has helped me achieve so far.

Commit yourself to the changes. Be open to trying new things. Track your food and exercise, even (especially) when you're disappointed with yourself or embarrassed. Make small changes one at a time. Celebrate your accomplishments (and not just the scale ones!). Write lists of your goals, your achievements, etc, so you have them to look at when you need them. Surround yourself with people who help you do your best and support your healthy lifestyle

Yup this above. I would also add to also be kind to yourself. Get it in your head that you are not going to lose weight every day/week and some days you will actually gain weight. Its natural as your body adjust, retains/release Water and what not. Also to add on to the goals thing, try new things that you haven't don't before that you felt like your prior weight before limited you from doing.
Case in point this last weekend I went to a water park and rode a 2 story water slide. No way you would have gotten me to do that 3 years ago. You wouldn't have gotten me in a water park, let along in a water park shirtless and riding stuff like that. Take it all in and enjoy your accomplishments. Cause some days when its hard, you will have these sort of memories to lean on to help keep you moving forward.
