Where to settle?

Here's me with my brother a few years ago and with my nieces (his daughters) a few months ago.

I chose sleeve because doctors said people usually lose 80% excess weight instead of just 60% with lapband. But I'm here to tell you it's possible to loose 100%.

I'm 5'9" and got down to 138 pounds (couldn't eat due to medical issues) which was scary because my upper body was so gaunt, bones were jutting out. So it seemed like 140-150 would be a good range. But at 153#, the hollows in my face have filled in and people seem to like it better.

Love hearing from people who are happy with their results.

Best wishes to you all!

It all depends on you. Take pictures and figure out where you are happiest with yourself. Everyone is different, so it's hard to just throw a number out there. From your 2 pics, you have really come a long way and look great.

I agree, good job with the weight loss.

Awesome! You are an inspiration to those of us who just started our post op journey! I was sleeved on 8/4.
