[Ainsleet 67]

Greetings fellow November sleevers!!! As of this month I'm 11 months post-op, down 97 lbs. I'm still trucking along slow and steady... I haven't hit my goal weight yet, with the word yet being highly stressed!!! I will get there one day!!

The top photo was taken 2 days post-op the bottom was taken last month. I'm so happy with myself and what my sleeve has allowed me to do. Congrats to all if you in your success

OK now i see the photos and I am so happy to see you looking sooooo good. You keep on truckin' slow and steady, wins the race. I am your cheerleader.

I am 6 pounds and 7 weeks away from 100 pounds. My first BIG GOAL, so exciting!!

Although my UGW (ultimate goal weight) would be to add another 30-35 pounds to that, I am not complaining and could live the rest of my life happy with the 100 pound loss.

hi from western ny. had a vs almost a year ago . i have lost 57 lbs. it seems very slow too me and i have 43lbs to goal..people are starting to notice, i find it alittle embarrassing. sleep apnea is gone diabetes is gone. still have bloody high blood pressure, but i guess thin people have that too. my surgical group was obnoxious,and i stopped going, and my regular doctor has been supportive. i joined the YMCA and i am enjoying it. i have learned alot from this group, thanks

Was in size 26 & 28 pants and 4x tops, now in size 18 pants and 1x tops. All comorbidities resolved-----diabetes, high B.P., high cholesterol, & sleep apnea. Would like to lose another 70-90 lbs.

Best thing I've ever done for myself.
