Shirley I would love to become your friend. Sounds like what I am looking for. I posted that I would like to do this journey with someone but received no reply. So new friend let's chat. Sharon

Being older just means you might heal slower. I did great. I was told by next week I can get in the pool. That will be four weeks out. Not bad for us young gals. Keep in touch and let me know know how your doing. I am excited for you. My doctor told me to go to the store and pick up 20 and 10 pound bags of potatoes and know that is how much your body has lost

I went to the hospital on Monday 15 and went home the next afternoon. I was sore in my stomach but was well controlled by pain meds. I had a numbing devise that I came home with. That really helped. The hardest part of the surgery for me was only getting half ounce of water until the upper g I was done. Since my surgery was at 3 pm I waited until the next morning. But I would not change any decision I made. I went for my three week check and am down 31 pounds yahoo!!!!

Hi I am sharon. Was sleeved on Sept 15. Lost 30 pounds and am so happy. I am new to the site but wold love to have support. I am 61 and can not wait til I can buy smaller clothes. My starting weight was 308 and am down to 278. I keep weighing every day and I know I should try once a week. But I see the scale going in reverse and it feels assom

Well here I go. I was never Obie until after 2004. I was always active bowling, riding my horse fishing camping the sky was the limit. Then on Friday night bowling I fell and broke my ankle. It took surgery to repair a day that is when the nightmare began. After numerous surgeries the had to amputate my leg just below the knee. I thought well I will learn to use the leg and life will resume. But not for me. To date I had 26 surgeries on my leg. During that time while laying around and in a wheel chair the pounds flew on. I made it to 308 pounds. Then I thought you do not look that bad. Then we were in a hotel that had a full mirror in front of the bed. I could see just how big I had become. I knew something has to be done. I did All diets did weight watchers, and then paid 1500.00 to slime ics. No go I meet Dr Snyder and he changed my life. I had the sleeve on Sept 15 and have lost 30 pounds in three weeks. I use to hate the scales but I want to get on them every day cause they are in reverse. I fell so good. Can not wait to buy smaller clothes.

Hi my name is sharon. I am 61 and have struggled with my weight since 2004. I broke my ankle bowling and surgery was done to repair the break. Only healing never happened and in 2008 after 17 surgeries they took my leg. More of the same happened and to date I have had 27 surgeries. Each time in bed 6 weeks. So I learned how to make myself happy by watching TV and eating. Well got to a whopping 308 pounds. I knew things could not go on.. I was sleeved on Sept 15. I was not sure it was the right thing to do. But 3 weeks later I am 278. Wow down 30 pounds. I am grateful for the surgery and also for finding this Web site

I am three weeks out and would like support as well. I am a below the knee amputee and am looking forward to losing the weight. I have lost 30 pounds so far. Yea!!!!
