- I was always a normal weight until an accident 20 years ago. I began to eat in excess in order to self soothe. I hit 200 lbs. at age 50 and have been climbing ever since. I lost 52 pounds two years ago and then put it all back on.
I was sleeved 5/7/12 and love that I did this for myself!

Today, I weigh 199 lbs and am -50 lbs from original weight of 249. I am 4 months post of as of 4 days ago. It has been amazing and I am so thankful to have found this surgery tool.
My next goal is to lose 28 lbs and be 'overweight' instead of 'obese'. Here's to all of us who have had the courage to take this step and make a new life for ourselves, instead of staying stuck.

Since week four I'm losing about a pound a week. I am very strick about eating exactly what the diet plan, given to me by my nutritionist, says to eat.

Yesterday I drove three hrs to Lubbock TX, from my home in NM, and had a long day of tests before my pre-op visit. My surgeon had insisted on doing an endoscope. A little background here...over a year ago I had precancerous polyps removed from my duodenum, using laser surgery. Even though I have had two clear endoscopes done since then, my WLS surgeon insisted he do another one. I have been grumbling about having to do this again, until yesterday. Dr Syn found a prob. malignant 10-15cm tumor in
