Any short sleevers?

[myTime2Shine* 4]

I am 5'1 and weighed 245 on surgery date. i lost 90 lbs in about 6 months or so ... then another 40 by about a year -14 months out. I dont know if it took longer than most, but I was okay with the progress. Im 8 years out and have kept it off (now at 115) - maybe losing a little slower isnt a bad thing! Good luck to everyone!

Wow!! That’s actually very inspiring. I have a few con workers who got the sleeve and they failed. And they have me paranoid, they still eat small amounts but let me tell you....I see where they went wrong and I pray I never fall back to old habits. For lunch they carry those big ampm guzzlers filled with soda!!! Like HOW?!!!! Why?!!!!! I don’t understand why you would do that to your body!!! Here I am trying to do all things right for a successful sleeve and here they are not caring at all!!! Another one that I know smokes more than a chimney (no offense) I have nothing against smokers at all!!! But wow!! Why would you do that to yourself?? So listening to your story gives me hope that I will succeed all my life

I am 4’11 had my surgery on feb 19 2018. When I started I weighted 197 and my BMI was 39. My BMI was shy by one number to get to get approval for surgery but with my sleep apnea I was approved. My surgery weight was 189. I’m a little over 2 months out and have lost 40lbs. My doctor says by October I should be about 105-110 pounds with how well I’m doing losing weight.
