My top weight was 255lbs Jan 1, 2012. I was wearing 20/22 pants and XXL shirts and some 3x. I had my sleeve May 28,2012. I currently am 180lbs and am wearing 31/32 jeans (some 34 depending on brand and fit) and shirts are LG or Medium. I'm 5'3"

I had my sleeve done May 28, 2012 in Mexico. The best thing I have ever done!!!! My starting weight was 255lbs ( my heaviest in Jan 2012) I was down to 238 by surgery and now am at 180lbs!!!! So happy to be only 40lbs to my goal weight!!! I started wearing xxl shirts and size 40 jeans. Today I put on size 31 jeans and can wear Lg and some Med shirts!!! I am stoked still. Lol. I do worry about losing too much weight thou. I had originally hoped to be at 120lbs, but since my cloths are already smaller than I anticipated, I kind of think I would be too small at that weight. I had watched one utube video and the lady had met her goal and then kept losing. That freaked me out a bit, and am not sure how you can prevent that. I find that food does not taste the same anymore and I'm not interested in sweet food or greasy food anymore. Milk DOES NOT sit well at all and even though I feel like vomiting after eating any dairy, I can't throw anything up. My brother had the same surgery 3 days prior to mine, and he vomits a lot. I'm not sure if it is normal that I can't. ( I had the flu, and even though felt like I had to, I just couldn't). I also have had a lot of hair loss which bothers me like crazy. I find it hard to eat protein too, as it just doesn't taste good, and sits heavy:( so that may be the cause of that. I find I forget to eat until I start feeling light headed at the end of my day. I very rarely get hungry, but get heart burn ( acid reflux) all the time, which is made worse after I eat:/ I still have to take antacids to help with those symptoms. I can't wait to be able to get the extra skin removed. Lol but have been wrapping regularly to tighten the skin up. So far it is working amazingly!!! My problem area that seems to bug me the most is my inner thighs that reminds me of an extra " butt"... Lol. That is the only area that is not responding as well to the wraps:/

I sent you a message:)

I really haven't done much for excersize besides my daily cleaning and running after 3 kids:/. I find though that I have way more energy and can just go all day long. As far as the wraps, I was looking at another post and we cannot post the name of the products or advertise it on here:( which kinda saddens me as I know it works amazingly for me and would love to share with everyone.

This is my side view:)

I was sleeved on May 28, 2012 and have lost 75lbs!!!! I have used site specific wraps and have had amazing results. Not to say I don't have some sagging skin bc I do, but the wraps I use have defiantly helped ALOT to limit it!!! They have helped tighten the skin and helped shrink some of my "fuller" areas!! I think that if something works, why not keep at it!!! I'm glad that we can talk about using other products that help , but a little confused as to why we can't share what product it is so that everyone could benefit. But that's just my thought:). My hope is that I can continue to wrap and hopefully limit my need for surgery to rid of the extra skin:)
