YEA!!!! 70 pounds down from my highest weight of 272 pounds in last summer, August 2014. I had my surgery on December 30 which makes 3 months next week and that day I weighed 241 pounds. It is unbelievable that I have gone from a size 22 to a size 18 since then. I had forgotten that I had some really cute clothes just sitting there on the racks of my closet. Right now, I love to go shopping every night (in my own closet) to find "new" outfits to wear to work.

I am so happy and I feel a 100 percent healthier than I did before. I have way more energy to play with my son and really live life. I guess the doctors were right about feeling better when I lost weight and that my health issues would go away. It WAS the fat making me sick and keeping me sick. No more blood pressure meds!

I am thankful for the gift of health and life! I look forward to what the future has in store for me as I become more of an active participant in my present.

Abundant Blessings to all that have been sleeved and those will be sleeved in the future.

    Congratulations! I am almost 6 weeks out, and am still frustrated, not feeling well, and not losing the weight like I would like to. You give me hope that "time" will be my savior.

    Trust me I understand. I'm 7 weeks Post-op and lost 31 pounds so far. But keep in mind I would love for the weight to come off but not as fast, that way I dont have people looking at me like I'm sick or something.lol

    Congratulations on your shopping trips! Before surgery, I hated going out let alone shopping so I bought things online. if a shirt fit, I bought it in 5 colors/patterns. if pants fit I bought 5 pair. Well as I got bigger, I bought the same clothes just in bigger sizes. I practically had a meltdown when the store no longer carried the pants I'd been wearing for at least two years (capris and pants) That meant I had to buy more, return more and it was a nightmare. So, I got some new pants and since surgery I had them taken in and they are big again! Even that gets expensive! I wish I knew how to sew, it is just straight line sewing, I wouldn't think I'd be charged 15.00/pair of pants! I will not go shopping for a while,i've got a wardrobe full of different sizes, just have to "GO SHOPPING"

    Continued blessing you ladybug! How cool, I'm counting down the days until my surgery and pre-op diet. I hope to be able to share similar stories like yours, and the ultimate goal getting off blood pressure meds, losing my sleep apnea machine, and hopefully not having a flair up of gou would be my blessing. At any rate, the very best to you, Happy Easter to your son.
