I love my Sleeve. Best best best thing I ever did for myself. I've had this weight on me for over 10 years and have been doing my best to get it off through all of that time. And in 6 months it just comes flying off!

This is me a few days post op. I had lost 20 pounds on the pre op diet and a total of 70 from the birth of my son a year and a half before. Still ewww. I'm embarresed about how in denial I was.

105 pounds down - 30 - 40 more to go. I'm 5'6 and 33 years old with three kids. Also after the weight loss started slowing down I started doing the 17 Day Diet and it's been great! I've been losing again! I started off wearing size 24 pants and 2x tops. Now I'm in 12's and Medium tops.

You look great! Don't be embarrassed about the denial, I thin most of us if not all of us have been there. Wishing you continued success.

Thank you friends! BTW - think I need to mention that I meant to say "makes" and not "pakes" - I was rushing....

You ladies are awesome!

P.S. I love the shirt too - and I love shopping in the non plus sided clothes! It's a work shirt and I'm just praying I don't cover it in protein shake or coffee!
