wow great update! Thank you for your personal experience. Makes me still believe that is this the right route for me. Lily

Yahhh awesome NSV! goes to show while you are still losing it might be best to buy cheaper clothes until you hit your stable weight. Must feel great to get into a size 10. Lily

You are almost to goal and look awesome! Thanks for posting the pictures they are really inspiring. Lily

Hope you are starting to feel less pain soon! I will pray for you that your pain subsides soon. Lily

Congratulations! you are on your way. Keep us posted. Lily

Awesome idea.. I like snow cones! Lily

You might want to talk to Tiffykins as she would most likely know about coverage for the military. Lily

Mp8 to convert lbs to Kgs it takes 2.2 lbs for every 1 kilo. I usually do a rough estimate by multiplying the kilo by 2 and adding on a bit. Gets a close idea. Lily

Keep us updated! I cant wait to be in your shoes and on my way. Lily

Excellent idea! from the mouths of babes.

Congratulations! You are on your way. Lily

I believe it! I when I have gone out pants shopping and one company's pants I can fit into comfortably and others I have to go up a couple of sizes to get them to fit. Now I really have no idea what size I am! This is one of the reasons why I hate to shop for clothes. Lily

You will never know how it will work until you open the doors. I think its a cute idea. Lily

Congratulations on losing all that weight. You look amazing! Lily

There has been problems with patients that have had RNY gastric bypass with absorption of calcium as the duodenum is bypassed. But what studies found was that if these patients took calcium citrate supplements they were able to absorb it better than calcium carbonate. The sleeve does not bypass the duodenum therefore there should not be any problems with absorption. But you could always take the calcium citrate supplements if there was a worry. Check springerlink there are studies done on this subject. Lily

I think I heard they were titanium and that I have not heard of people being allergic to it. That is why it is used. Lily

Your pictures are awesome! Cant wait to see more update pictures! Lily

Keep up the great work! You are looking awesome! Lily

Thank you for your advice. When I am sleeved I will try to remember to take it easy at first and sip, sip, sip. Lily

I was asked to make another appointment to discuss my problems. I think they will be helpful in the mental long run. Lily

Denise, I am penciled in for February so far as that is when I get my vacation. So I will be a month behind you. Lily

October 18 is really not that far away. I can not wait to join you and all the rest on the losers bench. Lily

I am penciled in for the New Year 2011. I hate having to wait but I know it will be worth it. Lily

Maybe you are losing fat and gaining muscle? As muscle is heavier than fat.. That is all I can think is happening. I would suggest staying the course and see what happens. Lily
