Hello Everyone!

[Steve The Sleeve 3]

Hi, my name is Steve. I was sleeved May 20th, 2013. I was 350 lbs at my heaviest, May 2011. I managed to lose a few pounds on my own. When I started my pre-op diet on May 1st, I was 331lbs, on my surgery day I was 305lbs. I am down 61 lbs since I started my journey. I have no regrets having the surgery. Only that I didn't do it years ago. I have 2 friends that were sleeved, they are the reason I did it. I saw how well surgery went for them, and how well their weight loss was. I cant believe that the day after surgery I was walking around the block, 2 days later walking around a super market with my wife. My sister in law was also sleeved the same day, in another hospital. She had a few complications, mainly dehydration. She ended back in the hospital for 2 days, but she is also doing great and is down 50 lbs. The surgery forged a bond between us that I don't think will ever be broke.
