I am SO much happier now. I had gotten to the point last year where I was no longer enjoying running. Even at my mid-heaviest (210-220), I still participated in road and trail racing with my friends....

These photos were taken roughly one year apart...same shoes, socks and shorts. I'm 6-7 months post-surgery. This is the first time I've really seen a side-by-side comparison, and it took my...
CANNOT AGREE MORE.
Compassion sometimes means being honest (even brutally so) and upfront...and the vast majority of us can say, "Been there, done that," and we have the surgical scars to prove...
Sending prayers. I have followed her story since coming here last summer and was amazed at her tenacity in fighting for what she felt was right for her body and for her health. It's that fighting...
I've always heard that, naturally, your body will do whatever it needs to to reach homeostasis...it's baseline level. Maybe that's what happened here...your body recognized it was a little bit lower...

Hope you're on the mend soon. I, too, have been experiencing dryer skint than normal since my sleeving (9-12-18) especially my legs. SO ITCHY!! I'm going to try some of the baby soap/lotion you...
Welcome! I am scheduled for sleeve surgery on September 12th as well! We can do this!
Thanks to everyone who has reached out so far. I've been keeping myself busy with adopting the new habits I know I'll need post-op. I've started logging meals on the MyFitnessPal app, gave up...
After roughly 6 weeks of pre-op physicians' visits, labs, and lurking on this site, I received my surgery date today: September 12!
I'm excited, thrilled, scared, hopeful...terrified...all of the...
