What a difference a sleeve made!
In 2011, in May, my youngest grandchild was born. I was at 220 lbs (down from my highest of 240).
This year, on my birthday, also in May, we look very different!
If you get discouraged, go back and look at your photos!

You look many years younger now!
Re: What a difference a sleeve made!
WOW!
Spectacular Annie!
I only have 1 before pic (it’s in my profile), because I wouldn’t let anyone take my picture.
I look at it once in awhile as a reminder of what an awesome tool VSG is ;-)

Annie, stunning transformation; you are radiant! Congratulations on your success:)

Wow Annie - such a difference.
Totally beautiful in all the photos.

Sometimes we become so focused on what we "lost" that we forget what we've become.
We are fortunate to have made a decision to take control of our health and our life!
Re: What a difference a sleeve made!
You look fantastic Annie, thanks for sharing.:)
Re: What a difference a sleeve made!
What a transformation! That is awesome! Congrats to you!

A sweet, caring person in all the pictures, but what a difference!
You lost a lot, but you also gained so much!

Wow! Thanks for the inspiration. I'm 6 days away from surgery. Posts like yours help!
Re: What a difference a sleeve made!
Annie- my goodness! You look so incredibly different now, truly transformed. In your heavy picture you look like you are ill - your eyes are dull and distant, and you look about 10 years older (I don't mean to offend you! After 30 years of nursing, I tend to look at people through a different lens). You look so healthy and happy now! Your eyes sparkle and you look vibrant and the outside matches the inside. Thanks for sharing. So happy for you!!

You would really have to work hard to offend me! You are correct. I had uncontrolled angina, a failed triple bypass (well, still have that), 3 strokes, chemo, radiation, diabetes, high blood pressure....so most things resolved and got better.
It's rather like getting a health do-over! And thanks, I feel good! And am a participant, not an observer.
And tickled to be 67!
