One year (almost) Surgeon visit report.
Hello My Sleeve Sister! It is impossible to believe that a year has gone by already! I just had a tummy tuck and my arms done last week. Normal? You are ahead of me on that one. I have yet to be called normal but I certainly can't blame that on my weight! 
I am 51, and a half, and I also say that no one should let their age dictate their decisions. Do it! I bet you hit 158 before you are finished. And it won't take you a year, either!

OK OK here is another 1-24-11 sleever reporting in and saying YOOHOO, WE HAVE DONE GOOD! and the best of congrats to all my sisters. I have about another 25 pounds to go, then will post photos. My BMI this morning is 23.8, so I am thrilled (down from 44.4). I do have days where I just want it to be over, I just want to get to goal, just so I can relax for 5 minutes and not obsess about everything. I think I have spent every waking minute on "the plan", the exercise, the health improvement, the supplements, the protein, weaning off the meds, well, you know what I am talking about. That is what it takes, a measure of dedication that often feels like insanity. But here we are, so close to the 1 year mark and we have added years to our lives. I am 63 yo and have lost 134 pounds, so do not let your age scare you into thinking you will be a slow loser or a failure. Yesterday was the first day I woke up and actually felt "thin." I have felt fat all through this process, until yesterday. And even though I got compliments at 60 pounds down, then 100 pounds down, I did not get the rave, jaw-dropped compliments that go on and on and on until I was down 130 pounds. When they have to stare at you for a long time to finally recognize you---that is when you know you have truly transformed yourself. Love and hugs to all my sisters!

I am so happy for you! You have been an inspiration since the beginning of my journey. You should feel incredibly proud of your accomplishments in this past year.

Glad to hear from all of you, especially my January sleeve buddies !!!!
We have all worked so hard this past year -- hard to believe it's already been a year....sometimes went to fast, sometimes soooo slowly....but a year none the less ! Lots of pounds gone, so many experiences to share !!!
