YOLANDA240 13 Posted May 20, 2011 Hello Everyone, I love reading the postive post about fitting into goal jeans etc. I started this journey trying to get healthy and off of all my medications in the back of my mind saying wearing a size 10 would be great also. Now here I am off my blood pressure meds., no more diabetes, and no sleep apena it's only been six months...this was exciting. But when I went to the store to buy a pair of jeans (still wearing my size 12) I was in shock when the size 10 was too big, my loving husband gave my a size 6 and said you've worked hard I know this is your size (tear...he's so supportive) and guess what he was right the size 6 jeans fit so I bought them. We later went to 4 different stores and I tried on their size 6 pants and jeans they fit I know crazy but it's taking my mind a long time to catch up to the new me. So to all the future sleevers out there this is truly the best thing you could do for yourself do not let anyone talk you out of having this surgery. It took me 2 years and 2 denials to finally get me sleeve I'm loving the end results. Thanks and Take Care Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Penpen 28 Posted May 20, 2011 Thank you so much for posting your success! You are of great encouragement! When I think of successes like yours, I can't wait for surgery but when I think of what will actually be done to my stomach and how major it is...I want to run the other direction. This forum serves a lot of purposes but I think one of the biggest, is the encouragement to move forward. Thanks and Congrats!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
