I couldn't be happier with my decision to have a sleeve. Dr Kelly was great and I was a 2xl size 20 gulp going in. Just before Christmas I was shopping and Went into express. I grabbed size large ( I was happy to not be an Xl ) and went in dressing room. They were too big. Had to send husband to get size medium!

My hair has to be cut but is falling out less now. And sometime is hard at parties because I love a good martini and there is not room for both martini and food. But It's a small price to pay.

Anyone thinking about the surgery or on the fence it's great. No regrets

Thanks all. The first month was rough and I had moments of wtf did I do to my body The scale was dropping fast but i didn't see it in my clothes that much. Then someone pointed out that from a size 20 to size 18 it's like 3inch difference where from a size 12 to size 10

Is like 1" it's totally true too. But when I did my 1 mo photos ( see attached) I could seeeeee a difference Already So I took before and after photos each month. ( see a few)

The other thing is I went ferocious on my closet. Everything that didn't fit ( too big or unflattering) for dumped. Seriously huge piles of clothes. 4-5 rubber made bins at a time to goodwill. I have far less clothes now and it's fine. I'll need more but am still losing fast but it keeps me motivated.

And I'm starting to enjoy working out. It's way easier now that I'm

Not carrying around the equivalent of a giant bag if dog food strapped to my body
