Can I see some before and after pictures for the sleeve?

Want to hear y'all success

Before, 227lbs in a size 2X coat that was tight on me.

2.5 months post sleeve, finishing off a night of swing dancing in a size L dress in the mid 160s.

The difference here isn't just the weight and size, but the fact that old me NEVER would have been doing weekly swing dancing lessons and going to social dances! I'm not only smaller, I have a genuinely better quality of life! Oh and the picture was taken by a new friend of mine who I met through a post-op support group! We do all kinds of activities together that don't revolve around food. I love it!

Would do it again in a minute. Have another 20-25 to go before I'm done. Surgery was 8/23/16

Everyone looks so good!

This was my last comparisons pictures from about 5 weeks ago. Pic to the right was about 6/7 years ago maybe 10 to 15lbs away from 600lbs. I was at or near my heaviest weight back then. And I'm now here in the 240-250's weight range. That what my sleeve has helped me achieve so far.

No I never did the band. My surgeon recommened against it. And at the time I was considering surgery I knew of at least two people that had the band for years and they didn't lose much weight off of it at all.

Follow your plan. You trusted your doctor enough to cut you open, trust your doctor enough to follow their plan!
