It is so hard to believe that it has been 6 months since I had surgery. I have lost 63 lbs + another 29 before surgery for a total of 92 lbs. I think I would have lost more but I still have not been able to do much in the way of exercising. I have sciaitia and walking causes a lot of pain.Even with the slower weight loss I am thrilled with my sleeve. I have gone from wearing a size 30 jeans to a 16. I can now go into a store and not have to head to the Plus Size department. I was able to buy a pair of boots without having to buy Plus Calf size.
Aside from the cellulitis in my leg that I had from September to November and the ongoing sciaitia problem, I am doing very well. I am completely off diabetes meds and I don't have to take arthritis meds on a daily basis. I will be getting labs done in another couple of weeks but I am sure my cholestrol levels have dropped.
