<p>im so glad i found this forum, i know everyone is different but has anyone been sleeved and kept thier curvy figure? im 30 years old and very very very curvy i dont want to lose that please answer the best way that you can </p>

JJ, everything fell back into place after I lost the bulk of my weight. I'm only 10 months out but am almost done losing. I will say that I definitely need my inner thighs done and would like to have a lower body lift at some point, but that's only to look better with clothing off. In my clothes my sags and bags are hidden very nicely in shape wear but I want to look good in a swim suit. What happens with you will definitely depend on how long you've been heavy and how heavy you are to begin with. You're 30 also so you have age on your side

I'm so glad that I start seeing more post about weight loss, the challenges and difficulties and success from Black/African Americans. Keep up the great work! I too may join "the challenge" that's on this thread soon:)

So tomorrow I go to my surgeon's office for my (belated) 3 month follow up (Not my fault, the man only sees patients on Tuesday afternoons). As of this morning I am at 244 lbs. Which means his scale will weigh me at 248 because it is a jerk. LOL. i plan on wearing the lightest clothing item I can find in my closet to counteract this.

I don't know what it is about the official weigh ins/office visits that turns me into some kind of paranoid freak. But on the bright side, I get to leave work early and can make it to the gym before the PM rush.

Don't stress over it! Stress adds weight. Relax and go in knowing you've done your absolute best with your food intake and your workout. As for the doctor's scales, they are pure evil. My doctor's scale reads 5lbs bigger than my scale. So, my next visit I want my scale to read 195 so his scale will read 200! lol

I'm not *too* stressed actually. I'm more stressed about whether or not I have any money left on my flexible spending card to pay for the $50 specialist copay! It's just funny, I always know that his scale is going to be 4lbs higher than mine. So I wanted to be in the low 240s so that his still registered me as being in the 240s. Ya know?! Being in the 240s for this visit is a personal goal of mine based on where I feel I should be progress-wise.

Also, I'm sure we all weigh in on our at home scales post morning poop when we are the lightest! My appointment is 4pm, post brekkie and lunch!
