Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hi there! I haven't posted in quite awhile, but I just wanted to stop in and say hello! Just to give everyone an update, I am about 21 months out now - my surgery date was June 13, 2009. To date, I have lost 161 lbs. This is about 15 pounds more than I originally set out to lose, but I've been at my current weight for about 2 months now and seem to be pretty comfortable there. I am thankful every day that I chose to get the sleeve. It has truly helped me take back my life. My friends are starting to see the return of me again, I have been even more successful in my job, and I gained the courage to leave a marriage that I was extremely unhappy in because I now realize that I deserve to be happy! I've also gained the comfort level to tell anyone who asks me about my experiences. The only issue that I have right now is all the excess skin. Unfortunately, no amount of working out is going to get rid of it all - but I'm starting to save up for the next leg of my journey! Thank you to those of you on this board who have given out great information, offered support, and have been there to encourage others. I have posted new pics, because I know that visual was a great help in my decision making process. So, if I can help encourage others to take back their life, that is what I want to do! Good luck to everyone else out there fighting the daily battle. And for those of you just perusing and deciding... you only have one chance at this life. Get to the point where you can enjoy each day, experience new adventures, and stop being trapped in a body that you don't belong in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
