No it's awful!! I'm having such a hard time, I actually have been relying on Facebook because I'm not able to navigate as well on here :-(

GM August sleevers. I was sleeved on August 19,2013. Currently I am down 90 lbs. my goal was to get between 160-170. I only have 4 pounds to go before I hit 170. It has been a long road of adjustments and life changes. This was the best choice that I have made in a long time. My health is more important to me that what people are saying to me. Every morning I wake up I am blessed. This road was different than when I had the Lapband done. What a waste that surgery was.

Day of surgery. Best day ever

Weight at heaviest 265

Weight now 173

After surgery and before hair started falling out

hair after I cut it off, due to Hair loss

Hope this picture shows up. Sleeved on 8/19 and down 31 since surgery (42 since preop). It seems like I've lost nearly all my weight in my waist and upper body. Began intensive lower body strength training to firm and "encourage" some loss there! Glad to see everyone doing well!

You look fabulous! Wow!!! Beautiful picture....love that dress!

Thank you for all of the encouragement I could not have done so well without my motivation of meeting sleevers on this site. We all can do it and get our health life styles back. We are all fantastic
