Beyon Sleeve 57 Posted June 27, 2012 Well, it's been 6 months since my Gastric Sleeve surgery and what a journey its been! Today at my appointment, the Dr. said I have exceeded expectations and now have a NORMAL BMI of 25 and down 72lbs! I literally started to cry. I couldn't believe that I had actually accomplished my Dr.'s goal! She said that wasn't expected until the 12 month mark or beyond. I personally have 8lbs and one more size to get to, but I KNOW I will get there. Now to focus on completing my first ever 5K next month and continuing to work my a$$ off (literally)! Type 2 Diabetes-GONE! High Blood Pressure-GONE! CPAP/Sleep Apnea-GONE! Insomnia-GONE! Asthma-controlled (only use before running) 16W and 1X-GONE! (rockin' a 6, SM/MED top) Keep striving, keep smiling, keep reaching for your goals!!! 10 allmyjoy, letsdothis!!!, CamarilloCA and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still a-ways away from goal yet - Neck and neck with Hadouni pretty much (yeah, I know, It's not a race blah, blah, blah ) Congratulations!!! You give us all a little boost. The sleeve works!

Catracks 865 Posted June 27, 2012 That's so cool!! How did you know when you could get off your CPAP? Did you have to do another sleep study? I know you didn't ask me, but adding my 2 cents: I got off mine, but did not have another study. My husband says I don't snore, let alone gasp for air every two minutes. I'm not tired either. I never could acclimate to the BIPAP so it's a good thing that I don't have the apnea anymore. I got the pulmunologist to sign off on it. She fought a bit and said: "How do YOU know you don't have sleep apnea?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
