    Yeah it would be easy to think that the job is done when the weight is lost, but I believe that is when the work starts. Just like any diet I've ever been on, the weight loss part takes committment and focus - the keeping it off part, much the same.

    Hi Debbie - we had the same surgeon - Dr Benn at Fairview Southdale, right? I am almost 3 months out and it looks like you are much further out. How was your experience with Dr Benn? I thought he was a great surgeon but he was not very personable. Where is Mayer MN? I am in Farmington

    I'm just starting out, yes! I am doing ok so far just a little concerned that my weight is not dropping off as fast as I'd like. I think I have lost like 12 pounds since getting sleeved on 10/11 so if you have any advice, I would appreciate it.

  12. From Size 28 to Size 12 - Best Birthday Ever!

    My husband is so awesome, I just have to share this with you all. He saved a bunch of money and sold some of his guitar gear to get me the best birthday present ever - a shopping spree. He set up a personal shopper to find me a whole new wardrobe, planned dinner reservations, and a night out in the city. I haven't invested in hardly any new clothes over the past two years. I'd been getting by on hand-me-downs from my sister-in-law. As a huge present/ reward for all of my hard work, now I can get some awesome new outfits. It is incredible to walk into Nordstrom's and put on AG, 7 for All Mankind, and Paige jeans. I went into Banana Republic and found out that clothes not only fit, but I'm a large. What?! I'm lucky to have an amazing, supportive husband. My new clothes have given me such a boost and confirmed that this was the best choice for me. I've posted a pic below to show you all how great it feels to be a normal size.

    You look completely amazing. Isn't a trip how people can see such a difference in us yet we can't see that much in ourselves.
  14. Mayer is just outside of Minneapolis. I'm feeling really good. I can eat almost anything now without discomfort. I was lucky enough to never get sick from food after surgery. I have been losing around 1-2 pounds a week for the past year (before and after surgery). I was super worried about saggy skin, but I only have that problem with my arms. I can honestly say I have not exercised at all after surgery, but I have still done well with weightloss. I went from a tight 26/28 to a 14/16.

    How has your experience with the sleeve been going?
