This is my before and after picture I sure hope I post it right. Working hard - total loss is 121 lbs

dos is 2/19/13 and i loss the amount of trash you throw away in a month!

My surgery was February 19th. Did get a small leak and then needed to have my esophagus dilated. So things have not been easy for sure. I AM 7 MONTHS FRON MY SURGERY AND TODAY I HIT TOTAL LOSS OF 125lbs. I think that is great considering I am 54 years old. Even though I have spent many days at hospitals and doctors I would do it all again.

My NUT said that I should avoid lettuce for 9 months to a year. She said treat your stomach like a babies stomach. So three months out your stomach would be like a three month olds.

3 weeks and counting.

Thank you everyone. I sure appreciate the support!

I love my sleeve. Surgery date 2/19/13. 100 lbs gone forever. Had to share.

Surgery 2/19. Just over 100lbs down. Before and after picture.

100 POUNDS DOWN FROM SURGERY ON THE 19th of February! Love my sleeve. Will post before and after picture later. Don't have many before pictures but will look. 100 more to go!

Remember without my drain we would have probably not Known about my leak so early and things could've been much more worse than they already were. So even though the drain was uncomfortable it served a great purpose for me

I had a train and then they discovered my leak Because of the it. Thank goodness. Had it removed one month out. I am four months out now.

I am four months out and was dilated two weeks ago. Since my surgery I have suffered with a lump in my throat which turns out to be my stomach is too tight the food is not processing down Easily to my stomach. Since the two weeks each day the lump has gotten less and less and food is processing easier. Interestingly I was down to only eating 200 to 300 cal a day because of the lump and since dilated I've been able to get my intake to 600 to 800 cal a day and in two weeks I lost 15 pounds. So I would say dilation works well because it proves to me that if I didn't get my calorie intake my weight loss was going to be too little Or slower. And the dilation was not painful and I didn't feel anything and it was very easy I go for it

DOS. 2/19/13 Weigh: 370 Weigh today: 281 Happy with results so far. Long way to go but we over 300 can get there also.

Surgery 2/19 down 93 lbs.
