CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted December 17, 2013 Well I am hoping my fellow Dec 2011 sleevers are having ajoyeous holiday and still rocking those sleeves. Would love to hear some updates!!! I lost 160# in total now and maintaining at 147-150 range. I had plastic reconstructive surgery for excess skin and feel like a million bucks. My life has become so full and fun, cup runneth over... Yes there are life struggles but everything is easier when you feel good. This sleeve is the best thing I ever did for myself...well...maybe my college education was the best but this was right up there!!! 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last Chance Sue 4 Posted December 17, 2013 It is the best decision I ever made. I didn't reach my goal by I'm happy with where I am. I stay within 3 lbs of my lowest weight since surgery having lost 65 lbs. I still struggle to stay away from the carbs. Having surgery on Thursday to repair 2 hernias. One had been repaired twice before. I was much heavier then so I'm hoping now that I'm thinner the repair will work. While the surgeon is in there he is going to remove the excess skin. My daughter is getting married in May and I will be rocking my mother of the bride dress! 3 donniej, CowgirlJane and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
short n sassy 0 Posted May 3, 2014 Had my sleeve Dec. 21st 2011. Still not at my goal weight but I'm still working out and eating my Protein. Just got diagnosed with a bad gallbladder so having it taken out in two weeks. Hopefully I can get back to my workouts quickly!!!! Curious if anyone else ended up having to take their gallbladders out post-surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
