Hi Lou - I went from an unsuccessful lapband to a sleeve on 8 October 2013, weight on day was 186kg, am now down to 122kg and am so thrilled with my new life and my weight loss to date. Am walking 4 out of 7 days for approx 45 mins, rarely get hungry, love my little meals and after a lifetime of struggling with a weight problem, now feel like I am in control. Please feel free to ask any questions, happy to help if I can, good luck
