lilbearzmom 584 Posted August 8, 2013 My first post here, been reading for months. Seems a lot of people posting are in the medical field. I thought it would be cool to hear what fellow sleevers do for a living. The wife and I are both Respiratory Therapists here in Michigan. I am just starting this journey with my 8 hour information seminar ( pre-op ) scheduled for later this month. My better half was sleeved the end of April. She is doing awesome. Down 84 lbs total including the pre-op weight loss. Im so excited to get my life back after getting this incredible weight loss tool. Hope to hear from you guys. I am also a Respiratory Therapist in Ohio. Just graduated from my program in May and just started my new and very 1st therapy job this week! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope to hear from you guys.[/quote'] I wish you lots of luck on your surgery! I think you made the right decision. I had mine on march 5. It was a great decision for me. I have no idea how much I lost because I don't go on scales but I've gone from a size 18 (almost a 20) to a size 14 ( almost a 12) since march. I must admit I thought my weight loss would have been constant and extreme, but it wasn't that way. I lost the most the first 6 weeks while eating nothing but Clear liquids to mushy foods ( like yogurt, apple sauce, grits.. Etc) but then I started eating solid foods but at a slower rate. I reached a plateau where it seemed that I wasn't loosing anymore.. So I decided to get on a treadmill. THAT decision made all the difference!! I have more energy, I'm getting fit, I'm building some muscle, and I feel so much younger!!! The surgery will get you to the plate- but it's up to you to hit the home run!!! GOOD LUCK! 1 Mandagirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
