I feel like I make one of these threads every month, but every month I think about how happy I am that I did this.
I mostly make these threads for the people who are either contemplating gastric sleeve and worried about whether its a good idea, or those people who are already scheduled and nervous.
I can tell you... It's the best thing I ever did.
I'm down 70lbs. I'm also 50 years old and don't exercise much, since I have a long drive for work and I had to recover from some knee and hip issues (which are now mostly gone).
That 70lbs brought me from over 250 to around 185. from a size 20/22 to a size 12/14. movie seats are perfectly comfortable now. I can squeeze through places, shop in normal size stores, walk past a mirror and smile, I can run up the stairs, wear a tight top, and... CROSS MY ARMS!
So I do that a lot now (cross my arms). people probably think I'm mad. or cold. I'm just excited that I can do it.
