I had surgery 4/23/15. With the greatest surgeon ever. Dr B. At the NEW program. It's name is accurate. This procedure the sleeve, gives you a new life. I started at 280, down to 230. I have been told I look like a new person already. I didn't see it until the other day when I went shopping for an outfit. Started at size 24/26. Now am in xl. I do see a new person. It's the old me that has been gone for so long I forgot they existed. My diabetes and high blood pressure are gone and no more hormones, almost all was gone immediately. So at week 8 and looking forward to what's next. Will post pics later! Updated on 23 Jun 2015: This week has proven challenging. At week 8 I can pretty much eat anything just no raw veg and still don't want to eat red meat. Well I had a stress filled couple of days and boy oh boy did I want fast food. If it wasn't for the sleeve I would have not made it. Started all if a sudden having a little extra hair in the brush. Not worried yet but watching. Updated on 28 Jun 2015: Well. Hair situation has stabilized. But I am having a stall period or it feels like it. Last three weeks down to 2.5 lbs a week. But haven't been very active. Work is in my way. Long drive. I feel like I could slip back so easily. Can't eat like before that is my saving grace. Anybody else feeling this way?
