My life has changed so much in the past year. I am able to run a mile and run 2 when I want to lol. I am able to run after my grandchild. I am able to get dressed with out sweting like a pig. I can bend over with out holding my breath. Able to put on  my shoes and tie  them  with out my belly getting in my way. I eat better now get full faster and just love to live life. This is the best operation I had it saved my life and I love my sleeve. I am not at goal yet but trying to get there. I work out 7 days a week and I am very happy. Picture on the left was taken the night before my surgery I was 290 lbs. The new me taken to day I am now 172 and still trying to get to 145. I tell everyone if they want wls to get the sleeve. Thanks for all the support in this group.










My surgeon gave me the tool. Now it is up to me to use it right.
