Ok 10 weeks out and I am half way to my goal of 80 pounds!!! 40 pounds down so far. Love my sleeve and feel like a new woman. Has anyone else looked in the mirror and not really recognize yourself anymore? I got done up Friday, put on my new size M sweater and my yellow leather jacket that I haven't been able to wear in 2 years and just stared at my reflection thinking WOW! Is that really me??? Maybe that sounds ridiculous but it was very strange!!!

I must also mention that I had a very difficult year with a marriage splitting up after 21 years together (since I was 19) and a teenager that got into some drugs and just a very traumatic year. I feel so much more confident now and stronger emotionally that I feel like and evidently look like a whole new person!!! For the better I might add!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
