I'm 5 months out after gastric sleeve. I've lost 114 lbs. Never thought I'd lose so fast. Now people seem to give me a hard time saying I've lost enough. To stop. My goal is 165 I'm currently 205. So 40 more to go. No regrets. Best decision I've ever made. Below is before and agter. At 100 lbs lost

I felt the same way. If I'd have known just losing weight would fix 90% of my health problems I would have done it years ago. No more meds, my anxiety and depression are better, no more blood pressure or cholesterol meds, I'm off everything. I wasted a lot of years I wish I could get back with my kids. But my future grandkids are gonna have an active, fit, granny.

That's what I want no more meds,I want energy,and to be able to get up and do things I've never done I'm 53 and I wish I would of done it long ago,its sad when you can't barely shower or do much of anything,I'm so concerned if I'm gonna lose these last 17 pounds to get the surgery,cause that's due to my insurance,I mean if I could lose weight I wouldn't need the surgery is how I figure it.

Congratulations!! I was just sleeved last week and seeing stories like yours and others are helping me get through this liquid phase. People don’t realize what a tough choice this is, and how it’s definitely not the easy way out. Great work! You should be really proud of yourself!
