Can You Hear Me!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Okay so I'm in the Goodwill with my mom and son, I was in search of the perfect shade of grey slacks. Well I pick up a size 8(which can I say I am thrilled to be able to fit), a size 6, and a size 4 that I knew no way in the world I would be able to fit. But hey my son said, "mom they look like they could fit you." I was thinking "Mmmhhmmm I don't think so."

Well sleeve family, I could not wait to get online to tell you guys that I not only got in the 8's, but I even got in the 6's -very comfortably might I add. But HELLO can you hear me, HELLO, I say, I even got in the size 4's.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I love my sleeve. I love my sleeve.

I was in the dressing room jumping up and down. saying OMGosh I can actually fit a size 4 in slacks. And these were labeled from the "Express" store. I don't know how many of you have that in your area mall. But as a person who was tipping the scales at 298lbs I could only look at their clothes never try on or even wear, as it was made for skinny chicks.

Oh side note the size 6's were labeled from Talbots. Some of the women will understand why I am saying what store the clothes are coming from, as some stores clothes run smaller than others. So to wear a size out of a particular store is an incredible thing.

Sleeve-Land is an Incredible Thing.

Thanks you guys. I am constantly amazed everyday with this sleeve. It is amazing. And it is so nice to have others to share with that understand your happiness.

My sleeve birthday was Dec 14, 2010. I started at 298lbs and today I am at 175.6lbs. I want to share this gift with everyone I know that is struggling just as I did with losing/keeping off weight. I swear I thought I had missed the meeting on "how not to be fat." I spent countless dollars on products and different gimmicks. I am so greatful to have this tool. Now I feel that I can/am doing it and without fear of failure.

People dont understand unless they have been there through the hope of success with a new product/method and then ultimately, the failure.

Tearing up now I must stop. I just wanted to share. Let's all rock on with our sleeves.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
