  1. 6 months post op!!!!! And I freaking love my sleeeve!!!

    Yes! I was yelling. I mean, who wouldn't be when you are as happy and excited as I am to be hitting this mile marker. Half way through my first year and almost to goal already. Things continue to get easier each day. I am losing very slowly now but that was too be expected. I am just 8 lbs from my goal weight. Not sure when the weight loss will stop. I feel good. I feel healthy. I know that I could go under 120 for my height and probably still look healthy as I am only 4'11". I really ...

  5. Bad teeth

    I always brushed and flossed. I went to the dentist 2x a year like I was supposed to. Then I lost insurance and didn't go to the dentist for 2 years, but I cared for my teeth. All was good, but in the past year my teeth seem to have been deteriorating. As I write this I'm sitting at the dentist office. I have 2 broken teeth, one that has been a 8/10 on a pain scale these past few days. I also have had teeth pulled, and a crown on one. Can't sleep becasue my whole head is throbbing. The only major ...
