All of my December sleevers...
candlz4mitz replied to blkdiamond377's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved on 12/17 and surgery day I was 263 and now I am 214. Still have a hard time getting enough protein down everyday but doing what I can. Seems like all the December sleevers are doing great. -
What a great accomplishment! You look great.

My mother did not agree with me having the surgery but it has been 8 weeks and she is coming around. My dad did not know anything about the sleeve surgery but he researched it and actually took me on my surgery day and was there for me. Your family will come around with a little time especially when they see what a blessing it will be for you and your health. Good luck and keep us posted.
