I don't know where to start, what a life change and what a life saver my sleeve gave me. I started out at 250 pounds, at 5'6". My ultimate goal was 150 and a size 10, now I'm 160 and a size 4/6!! One day I'll get to that 150, if it wasn't for my muffin top and extra skin, I'd be my impression of perfect, I plan on doing some kind of boot camp classes soon and hoping that will help me. We all go through a lot making this life change, I don't regret anything except that I wish I can find a new motivation for some kind of new exercise routine because the gym gets boring and old! I stick to 13-1500 hundred cals and barely even hit 1000 most days. I gotta have my iced coffee every morning and Water and iced tea as well as my flavored drops to keep my hydrated. I do extremely low carb, 20-30 max daily and that's due to my type one diabetes and if I eat more carbs and sugars that leads to more insulin. I feel like I've cured myself with changing my habits. I love who I am now more and feel way more confident than before! Thank you Dr. Alvarez !!

Wow! You look awesome! The thought of being a 4/6 is crazy! I hope I get there but I would be amazed if I got into a 10 one day! I like mountain biking to get out of the gym and it burns a ton of calories! You are inspiring!

Sounds like fun! I've been wanting a bike, maybe I'll make that my next goal ;)

      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.
