TxCalico 69 Posted October 18, 2014 Just passed my one-year Surgeversary, and I never would've believed this would happen for *me*. (Other people, sure, but nothing ever worked for me!) I really debated getting the Sleeve at age 60, but I didn't want to carry extra weight into my elder years. I debated doing it because I "should" be able to do it myself, but finally admitted that if I couldn't do it over the past 30 years with diets & pills & hypnosis & etc, I probably wasn't going to be able to do it by myself. This is one of the best things I've ever done for ME! I feel healthy and energetic again! And tho I'm thrilled to look better, I really did this for good health. I chose the Sleeve because it's simple and did not re-route internal plumbing -- it's livable! I can eat anything I want, but one slice of thin pizza is more than enough (instead of half a pizza!), yet usually I want healthier foods, and this former carb-addict no longer craves carbs. My favorite sweet treat is strawberry Greek Yogurt! HW- 212 ... CW- 149 ... I've maintained 60 lb loss for six months, finally getting used to shopping for size 6. (fyi, sizes have changed! I never wore a size 6 even when I weighed 145 back when. Trying to make us feel better, I guess, but we're fooling no one but ourselves.) Congratulations to everyone! The first year is already past, and many MANY healthy years are ahead! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperKen 231 Posted August 15, 2015 I awoke this morning to a Facebook notification of a post from 6 years ago (evidently this is a new feature that Facebook has) of a pic I had posted. I literally do not remember myself looking that way. Here is the pic and a current one as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
