barbmeow 92 Posted August 11, 2014 It has been one year since we all have been sleeved give or take a few weeks, wondering how everyone is doing? This surgery has changed my life. Down from 246-250 range to 123-126. It has opened new doors, some good, some bad. Anyone have a shopping fetish for small new clothes, like me? I love my sleeve. 3 123Go, Summer Rain and VSGAnn2014 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hannah55 79 Posted August 11, 2014 I've lost 50 lbs. and feel great. I'm more active and enjoying life. I'm disappointed that I haven't lost more, but I keep plugging away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
