I am back

[Rycherchick 147]

Hello,

I am back. I was unable to log into the forums for 8 mos. I lost my password and everytime I tried contacting someome at the old Sleeve talk address I got no where so I decided to persevere until I got in.

I had my surgery January 30 2013 and I have lost a total of 92 pounds. To say I have been successful is an understatement. I started out on surgery day at 247. I am about 5 or 10 pounds from my goal and I lose when I am no longer trying.

I am wearing a size 8 jeans and shopping at the Juniors section of stores. It has been relatively easy for the most part.

In the beginning I was like, WHAT DID I DO?? But it gets easier.

I am pretty happy for the most part except I have these 2 horizontal lines on my neck that you don't usually see in a woman until she is in her 70's but I am not yet 50. I wish I had done this 20 years ago when my skin was a little younger but it is what it is.

I walk for exercise but so far this is the easiest thing I have ever done. I had Zero complications and spent less than 24 hours in the hosp.

I am happy to be able to post again!!
