I posted some before and after photos under My Profile section. My surgery was 7 months ago and I've lost 64 pounds! I have recently started C25K and I'm on Week 4. I never would have guessed in a million years that I could jog for 16 minutes in a 30 minute period! I'm still in shock! I'd still like to lose 20-30 more pounds. I hope to reach my goal by my one year anniversary. This is the best decision I ever made! If you are undecided or nervous about having this surgery, don't put it off! You ...
I was very scared to have the sleeve done, but one of the deciding factors was the day that my doctor wrote me a prescription for blood pressure meds.

As I look at the past year I am in amazement. The changes my body and health has gone thru is nothing short of AMAZING! My health has improved, the surgery ...
I am just curious here. Is my doctor the only doctor who does not require a liquid diet prior to surgery? I have one more month to go before insurance is sent my information for approval. I asked about the liquid diet and was told the doctor doesnt put anyone on it. I am reading blogs, forums, etc on here and I seem to see everyone going thru that.
