I was sleeved on July 30th and was down 34lbs when I went for my for my 2nd visit on 8/28! Hoping to be under 300lbs when I go back in October. I refuse to have a scale @ home right now and only go by the scale at my doctor's office. I'm just concentrating on getting my proteins/fluids in and exercise.

sleeved on july 12 down 30 pounds and I'm stalling also but at 9 weeks out I'm officially out of the woods.. saw my doctor.. and got a clean bill of health ... its been a roller coaster but I'm "normal" now.. had many obstacles and got thru them all.. first few weeks were the hardest had dehydration, gastrointestinitis, naropathy, abdominal pain, gastritis, hypoglasimia and pain pain pain.. had many tests done and many medications. last test was egd and my G I doctor states that I'm now able to eat anything i want and assured me my stomach should not stretch out.. as far as eating I've done ok along the way despite the pain attacks i stuck to my diet phases but within the last week.. i have experienced tons of hunger literally want to shove everything in my mouth. its scary.. hope this is a phase that will go away. regardless of what i have gone through i don't regret my wls because i am down 4 pant sizes.. : -)

Sleeved July 30th. Weighed 262, down to 223! So 39 pounds gone! Woo-hoo. I have yet to shop for new clothes for myself, but my pants are getting really baggy. I'm afraid of going into a store and being disappointed by what size I actually wear now!.

I was sleeved on July 31st. I have lost 33 pounds so far. This is the best thing I have ever done. My fingernails have grown a huge amount since my surgery & I feel healthier also. I went to my 1st Weight loss support group last night. It was awesome. Everyone there had the sleeve, lap band or gastric bypass.
