You know after a few weeks, I am laughing at it because I went to my PCP and I weighed 203, and I told the nurse what happen before and she said I better weigh again to make sure, lol!

You will get there Ms. Laurie ~ look at how far you have already come on this journey!!! xo

Thanks, I don't normally weigh myself that much anyway. It was just an error at the Dr's office. But it is a slow moving process that test my patience alot and actually I am doing good. Almost 2 mos down and I am enjoying the new me! Your encouragement means alot, Thank You!!

That's a bummer regarding the scale. You will get there! Stay the course.

That's everyone!

Good for you MsLaurie!!!! You are doing fantastic and looking good. Thank you for the great advice, it is easy to let your focus land on things that are not important. xoxoxo

You really won't regret this decision. Honestly, the best thing I've ever done for myself and I'm only halfway to goal (5 months out, and I started with OVER 150 lbs to lose. I'm 5'3" and was 297, currently 215. BEST TOOL available in my opinion.)

You Go Girl, lol, I Love It!!! I believe I won't regret the decision either, I am ready for what come to me Now! Thanks so much!

My major reason for having the surgery was that I began to feel as though if I didn't make a major life change about my weight that someone else was going to be raising my kids. I knew that I would never see my daughter go to college or get married. That was the most motivating factor in my decision.

I do not regret it at all, and quite frankly I am having so much fun being the new me!

Keep fighting the good fight, and welcome aboard!

And even though the sleeve is "just a tool," it is the only tool that has ever helped me lose weight and keep it off. So it's the best tool out there! Basically a miracle.

I agree with You wholeheartedly about the sleeve being the tool. Thank You!
