Hi!!!
Christmas went well. Coming from New Orleans, the food wouldn't stop!!! I won't name the dishes because it's torture! And I could only imagine how good it tastes. I know my family members were wondering why my food portions were selective and drastically less but if they didn't ask, I kept my reasons to myself.
Overall, my daughter and I are doing well. I am currently 257.4 pounds and my daughter is 260. My sleeve does better with liquids and soft foods like mashed potatoes, yogurt and jello. I ate 2 boiled blue crabs earlier today, but I should have stopped at 1 crab because it came up shortly after. My daughter's sleeve is not as sensitive, thankfully, she hasn't thrown up yet.
For the New Year, I am really looking forward to a slimmer me. Mardi Gras is coming up in February and I have at least one ball to attend. When we return to Houston next week, my daughter and I will start exercising.

I had a pleasant experience. I would even consider having plastic surgery through this clinic when I meet my goal weight.

My Son-in-Law had the sleeve on last year. He was at 300 lb and only 5'8". It's been 7 months now and he has lost 90 lbs. He said the toughest part was getting used to the portion size even when he could start eating. It's amazing to see him order and eat now after knowing him for 30 years. He says he still has a tendency to want another bite, but knows if he eats it, he'll throw up. I wish you and your Daughter all the luck in the world. I know it's hard being around other people, but you can both do this. I'll be praying for you constantly. Don't overdo! Lol. Good luck to both of you.

Hi Jocy81! How are you??
The area is ok. Actually, the area doesn't match the hospital. And it's farther than the medical center we had our procedure. I'll send some pics I took on the way here.
