    Default Almost 4 years out and still the best thing I've ever done for myself!!

    Hello my sleeve family!

    I thought it was time that I check in and try my best to inspire some who are feeling discouraged or worried that you won't be successful. Take it from me, it is not an easy road by any means. This surgery takes daily commitment on your part. When you fall off, and you will, you MUST get back on or your weight WILL get away from you again. Once you know the tools to be successful balancing your eating habits and excerise, you can get back on track successfully. Trust me when I tell you I am constantly having to watch what I eat and keep moving so my weight does not come back. Good luck and get ready to live the best and healthiest life you owe to yourself!! My highest weight was approx. 210 lbs and I am now fluctuating between 140 and 145 lbs.

    Sharing my pics from my Hawaii trip 2016

    Big hugs to you all!

    Congrats and Great Job. I am 3 months away from my 4 year surgery mark. I am very happy with my choice and am keeping my weight off well. I have to work at it though.



    Starting weight before pre-op diet (only had to do diet 2 days): 190 highest

    Weight on day of surgery: 183

    Weight on day 2 post operation: 190. Yes I did gain around 7 lbs of fluids from surgery!

    Congratulations! Thank you for posting these pictures. I'm only six months out, and I'm doing well, but I have a constant fear that I will regain after a few years. My doctor says that I'm what he considers a success because I've lost 78% of my excess weight and he defines success as 70%. I still would like to reach my goal weight and maintain that level. You are an inspiration!

    Beautiful pictures! Thank you for the inspiration. I have surgery in July and it really eases my mind when I read such amazing transformations. You can see the fantastic results but even more than that ... it is great to see others really embrace the tool of the sleeve and hear that their quality of life soars!!!
    ..... I hope to be rocking my new bod on the beach of Hawaii one day too. Great job!!!!!
