Thanks Cheyenne :) About 30 lbs of that was lost in the 2 months prior to surgery, but I feel great about it. Yes, I love buying new clothes, as the others get too big. I'm just following the surgeon's instructions, and it is working.

Hi, I had a similar experience after my sleeve procedure in December. I lost only about 5-7 lbs the first couple of weeks, but quickly made up for lost time! At my 1-month post-op visit, my surgeon held up his thumb and said "this is how big your stomach is!" It is a very narrow passage...

Congratulations on reaching this major milestone! I'm only 3 months out from surgery, but I also see a different person when I pass a mirror. One of my biggest thrills was clothes shopping 1 month after surgery. I selected a pair of pants in my usual size and one size smaller and tried them on...

What a FANTASTIC testimonial. Keep up the great work ~ you are an inspiration!!

Hi Cheyenne, My surgery was postponed a few days to Friday the 5th. My surgeon specializes in liver transplants as well as bariatric surgery, and some lucky person is getting a second chance at health. For that person I offer prayers and good thoughts - and I can be patient a few more days...

Hi Everyone, I've been browsing threads for the last several days and am very impressed with the information, support and encouragement I've seen. I'm scheduled to have a sleeve gastrectomy on Dec 1st, and gosh - I hope I'm ready!! After much research and appointments with surgeons...
