Finallyslim

I started this journey at 294.5 pounds in July of this year.I am now 223lbs 3 months out from my sleeve.I really need to lose a total of 145lbs so I still have a long way to go before I hit a healthy weight.A guy at my church told me you look nice but don't lose to much weight.Now the thing is this person last year lost over 100 he say's naturally and everyone was happy for him.Now he wants to tell me not to lose to much.I am in size 18'snow down from 24's but still have a way to go.I was floored because I encouraged him during his weightloss and I didn't like his comment at all.I just want to be healthy how nice I look is a bonus for me.

The same thing has happen to me.I had my sleeve July 14 and I have not seen my doctor since.I had a leak at 2 weeks in the hospital for 6 days and still no sign of my doctor just the PA who is a very nice person but she didn't do my surgery.I would never tell anyone to go to my doctor again.I am happy with my sleeve but not pleased at all with my after care.

Thanks Ladies I just needed to get that off my chest.

It feels great to say at 3 months out I have lost 64 pounds.I feel great and I am told I look great all the time now.Shopping has become one of my favorite things now.I dreaded it before my sleeve.I now have a waistline its been years since I saw one.Happy with my sleeve!

Thanks Nikij I have a total of 150lbs I need to lose but 64 is a great startfor me.
