It's been 1 year, and 99lbs!!! I still can't believe it! Although I really wanted to reach that 100lb milestone...99 is close enough for me!
Along this journey I've realized that food IS NOT important, it's who you're sharing it with that matters. A support group is essential to your success. I'm still trying to figure out my "style"....at 35, doesn't that sound ridiculous!
Someone recently asked me if I notice that people talk to me more, and YES

I've seen a lot of posts from members that don't seem to have any guidance of what to do post-op and I'm concerned for them, and also for the hospital. This doesn't seem to be a comprehensive program for the patients, or very informative.

Looking at my before/after photos made me realize how grateful I am for the sleeve. Really grateful for this tool to enable me to be the "me" I always thought I was.

Never would I have imagined that I would REALLY LOSE 84lbs!! Before this it had been IMPOSSIBLE for me to lose anymore than 10-15lbs without gaining it back.
This has really changed ME and I'm
