Being sleeved was the best thing I did for myself, my health and my family in that order. I started out in a size 16 and now am in a size 8. So hard to believe it's me I'm looking at in the mirror. Have had no complications and have not lost any hair. Thanks for the support from my family and forums like this. I haven't felt like this or had the energy since in my 30's and I'll be 60 this year.

It's always so nice to see people who have had their sleeve for awhile, since so many of us are new at this.
Way to go!

Way to go! | That's so true -- it gives us newbies incentive to know it can be accomplished.
