Jim in Utah 25 Posted September 22, 2016 I am a 48 year old male, 6 feet tall, and now 198 lbs. I was overweight from 3rd grade on. My high weight was 455 pounds when I was 21. I dropped down to about 280 by my early 30s just from diet and exercise. I could never get much lower than that. I always rebounded up. At 307 I decided to get the sleeve. Now, a little over a year later I am finally below 200. First time since 5th grade! I am just trying to stay below 200 and focus on weight training, and exercise in general. Best decision ever. I only wish I could have done it about 15 years earlier. It was never covered by insurance until a couple years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
