One Year

[Lakelady 2]

I just wanted to make a post here. My sleeve surgery was exactly one year ago. I've had zero complications and feel better than I have in years! My goal was 140lbs but I've easily leveled off at 120! I was very nervous about getting the surgery, but it's been nothing but great!

Can you tell me what your beginning weight and current weight is?

Happy one year Sleeve Anniversary. You neglected to mention how quickly you reached goal...which was within 7 months, right?

Big hugs for an amazing lady.

My ticker is public and tells all. Last January I weighed 188.5. Yesterday morning I weighed 120! I reached my doctor's goal of 156 in April (3 months), MY goal of 140 in June (5 months) and I've been maintaining 119-122 (except Christmas when I was 125 for a few days due to Cookies and hard liquor) since September (8 months). I was "low BMI" so I didn't have as much to lose but I don't regret doing this. Sometimes I'm hard on myself and wish I could have done with without surgery but then I remember the monster that is hunger and how I had to starve and jog and starve and jog just be 150, which was a fine weight for me but almost impossible to maintain!

Yesterday I have the most annoying NSV. I went to the gym and was wearing my wedding band which was loose on my middle finger because it no longer stays on my ring finger. I realized a few hours later my ring was missing! I think it came off at the gym because I cannot find it anywhere else! I'll call them tomorrow morning. If I find it-I'll get it resized. If I don't I'll have to replace it!

Congrats on the one year!!! I know all about the bloody ring fiasco!! Happened to me too!! Got it replaced ( and resized), but now it's loose again!!! I'll need to resize again I guess!! Lol

Hello there! As a fellow low-BMI patient, it is great to see a continuing success story.

Congrats to you!!!!! And, good luck finding your ring :-) I have some very nice jewelry that I can't wear at all until I get re-sized. I'm waiting, though, because my body is still shifting.

Good luck stopping losing weight! I'm eating Cherry Garcia right now because I'm trying to stop losing.
