[Slim by Sleeve 17]

Hi All! I've been a lurker for the past 2 months and everything on here has been really helpful! I was sleeved on October 10th, 2010 with Dr. Mark Colquitt in Maryville, TN at a starting weight of 308lbs. This has been the best thing I've ever done for myself!! I've now lost 76 lbs and am feeling soooo much better! I still have a long way to go but it doesn't seem so overwhelming now. I go to monthly support group meetings (which I highly recommend) but in those off weeks this forum has been a lifesaver! Thanks to everyone who continues to post updates... Us newbies really can use your helpful advice!

Welcome to VST Slim! Like you I have read so many stories that helped me decide that the sleeve will be right for me and very useful information for post sleeve too. Read and if you don't see what you are looking for just ask. Someone one here will probably have advice for you.
