Everything is still in place,,but the muscle is deep underneath of this layer of skin that just jiggles when I walk, jump..move. Is surgery the only fix for this? Oh say it isn't so.

OMG..that's just funny to think about it.lol I just went swimming yesterday and ran around the pool..it was like running in slow motion but my body was moving in fast motion.

Yeah, they say you should wait till after goal..I just wondered if anyone who had skin issues toned it all without having surgery..I'm not that young..lol but thanks pebbles I'm excercising but maybe not as much as I should.

jasleeve, you are looking just lovely these days. So glad you are doing better!

I agree..movin on. But there were curse words,,apparently admin. removed that post...just sayin

Oh my goodness,,I hate to hear this. You sound like a real trooper and your family..wow..they sound amazing! I recovered the exact same way they are treating you for your leak. It's no walk in the park but it beats the alternative. You will be in my thoughts and prayers, I wish you a speedy recovery!

22 pounds in 6 weeks is over 3 pounds a week,,that is great you guys!!!

22 pounds in 2 weeks,,are you kidding!?? That's awesome!

"I really don't recall anyone cursing at all" I think she's referring to msdw59 Who seems to be very experienced and knowledgeable..btw.

I'm not an expert at being sleeved but since I'm 1 in a thousand for a leak,,I kinda consider myself an expert in that area. Even though my leak was not due to overeating or eating the wrong thing..it CAN happen and I for one don't want to see any of you have any complications. I don't think anyone is trying to judge, I just think some of those who have been sleeved for a while feel obligated to tell the OP how important it is to try and stay on track and where so many are coming out and saying "they ate cake" or whatever..it's like OMG,,don't do that! We get scared for that person and it would make anyone more passionate about stressing an opinion. And there is nothing wrong with suggesting counselling,,I think if we are all food addicts it doesn't hurt to have a little therapy. These forums are for helping one another,,I've seen much harsher comments in other posts. I think some people try to keep it real.... I, on the other hand am a mother hubbard and always try to give advice in a nurturing way with pats on the back...though my way may not always be right.

It's common for autoimmune diseases to overlap. When you have 1 you will usually end up with more.

Sorry..Mine should've read Start weight 230 Last week 229.4 Today 226 GW 215 Excercised, got in protein,,didn't get in fluids

Last week 230 Today weighed in 226 GW 215 I did my excercise and got my protein in but had problems getting all my fluids in.

I was wondering if any of you would like to get together for dinner at Applebee's in Frankfort on Sat. Aug 4 around 6pm? I would like to have 4 or more people before this is a plan. I'm sure we can find something healthy on the menu and I'd be glad to share portions with someone

Does anyone have any before and after plastic surgery photos? I'm far from getting a surgery but thinking about it as well as doing plenty of research. I want a boob lift and a lower body lift..maybe. If I can't get my arms in better shape,,I'll be getting them fixed too.

Oh..don't tell me that.lol I do suspect they will be heading south soon though

Yes, I live in Ky and Frankfort is close by for me. There's one other person that lives in Ffort who would like to come too. Frankfort isn't too far from Louisville, would you be able to make it? Waiting to hear from others.

applebee's in f'fort sat. aug 4th around 6pm

I just posted for a get together for kentuckians if anyone is interested. Respond here: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/45906-kentuckians/page__fromsearch__1

dr weiss is my dr too

I'm going to do like Tif 2.0 and weigh in here and on Monday too. I'm really excited,,I went from 228.4 to 225.2 for a 3.2 pd loss. I'm a slow loser so I love weeks like this!

Sounds like he's a very lucky man with such a supportive family,,good for all of you and good luck in your journey together!

After losing 70 pounds, I still have the girls. I've lost around the back and chest but my cup size is still a D. They will need a lift, I'm sure.

Do you think it's the fault of the doctor? I'm really curious..I don't know what causes them.
