I was 331 day of surgery. I am 10 months out and down 96 pounds. I weighed in at 235.8 this morning. The sleeve rocks....I think u will do awesome with the sleeve. Its not been as fast as gastric bypass....but slow and steady!

I just wanted to share my experience with you. I too am 5'6 and weighed 331 the day of surgery. I am approaching my six month post op date here at the end of march. I have lost 81 lbs. I am weighing 250. And even though it is such a huge accomplishment, its hard for me to see the light at the end of the tunnel because I still have so much more weight to loose. Ideally I would like to see myself at 160-165 lbs, which means I still have 85 pounds to go. So im trying to stay focused and not get discouraged, but its hard becasue I wonder if I will make my goal? Or if I will be considered a plus size chic for life.

Great Job...Lookin Fab!

Congrats ! I'm a lil over a week post op. My surgery was 9.28,last Tuesday. At my post op appointment I was down 23lbs and as of today I'm down 27. Its kinda exciting bc I'm almost outta the 300's. Day of surgery I was 331, today ! Can't wait to share more success!

Well I guess we are on the same boat. I too had surgery on Tuesday. Everything went well for me as well. The worse pain for me was the catheter and the horrible gas pains. But I'm up walkin around. I'm a little constipated and I'm sure once I have a bowl movement ill feel much better

Glad you are doing well now! Can't wait to join you! Keep it up!:thumbup:
