I'm in Minnesota as well, in the southwest metro. I was sleeved in Florida (self pay, got a better price there) on August 31st, 2015. I go to regular support group meetings at the Two Tweleve Medical Center in Chaska, as they are free and open to everyone, not just their patients.
Down 73 pounds in 4 months, and thrilled with my progress!

West suburbs here! I was sleeved in August 2015 and down 56 pounds! Feel AMAZING! Best decision ever! It's nice to see some locals here

I would love to be a 36D. I have gone from a 48DD to a 42F. I figure in the end I will end up a D cup, but the side effect from a medication I take is larger breast so we'll see.

There is a plus size store I like to shop at. I used to only be able to wear the large cut really stretchy shirts. The sizes at the store are 12-26. I was a 28 sometimes a 30 before surgery. Now I wear an 18 at this store. That just blows my mind! In a few months I have gone from barely being able to fit anything in the store to being near the bottom of the sizes they sell.
It is hard to adjust to dropping sizes, I am dropping 1-2 sizes a month, about every 3 weeks I need new jeans.
My boobs are also huge now, I am losing weight everywhere but since I never gained in my boobs, I am not losing in my boob. So as I am losing back and size fat, and my band size is going down, my cup size is going up. And my boobs look huge when I have clothes on. Most days I am just in louge/workout clothes, so when I put a real bra on, it is a real shock.
I'm not even 1/2 way to where I need to be, but adjusting to my newer body is a lot of fun.

I didn't think I was losing boobs either, because they were the last to go. I'm still well endowed, but not even CLOSE to what they were before! I went from a 42DD to a much more comfortable 36D. Now if they would stand back up a little....

I was sleeved on December 14th which was only a week and a half ago. I lost 18 lbs before surgery and for some reason the weight loss has come almost to a screeching halt since then. Everyone says the biggest loss comes in the months right after surgery. I've been stuck with no loss for almost a week! I know stalls will happen, but already?!?

I agree. Stay off the scale and eat/drink what the program says. My surgery was on the 16th and have lost 10 pounds. Only time I weigh in is at appointments.
Keep it up... Your headed in the right direction. Best of luck.
