I was sleeved January 31 and my hw was 242....sw231.....cw198....lost 44 pounds so far
I'm losing slowly but my Dr from Mexico thinks that better and he calls me to make sure things are going well
I had to take the clothes out of my closest because they were to big for me,I'm now in a size 14-16.
I read the posts daily and get encouragement from them, hope you are all doing well.

I had my sleeve done january 31 in Mexico. I was wondering if any of you with arthritis is taking the drug meloxicam. It's a NSAIDs, so there is a difference of opinions and the nearest baractic centre is 500 miles from me, but my hips are in a lot of pain ,so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
