I had vsg 8/3/2015, down 92lbs, love my sleeve. since the sleeve i had a total knee replacement in December, horrible surgery, still in therapy. anyway the knees being so painful was one of the reasons i did the sleeve. i was not going to put 268lbs on new knees. my left knee is work related and i do not feel ready to do that one yet, so today i had my second carpal tunnel decompression, being the left was done in 2014, just trying to get healthy and painfree. I had this surgery done at the same surgery center as i had the left one done. The nurse kept looking at me and she said you have lost 100lbs, and showed me in 2014 i weighed 277lbs. Wow i gotta tell you that felt so good to see that. i also was a little upset that it embarrassed me that i had let myself get that overweight, anyone else ever feel that way. The weightloss has slowed, but i would still like to lose another 25lbs, just keep trying. thanks for listening, oh and i can cross my legs now and be comfortable.

!​Great job!

​Knee replacements are the most painful surgery of record. ( FYI) They are the stuff of nightmares, aren't they? But after therapy, it is soooo wonderful to have a knee that doesn't hurt. I know I don't regret my knee replacement one single bit, but --OUCH!

Keep up the super good work, my friend.

What a journey. And what a victory!

And to be recovering from two additional surgeries and working toward a third. That is some serious effort!
