I am doing OKAY!!!

For anyone who said to themselves.. "Hey.. I wonder how lady_ceo is since she couldnt get sleeved.. last I heard she was gonna open a gym..???"

Well.. the gym is on hold because I didnt like the lease... and just like with me not being able to get sleeved last month... I took it for what is was worth and moved on....

I started this journey on July 1, 2008 having been banded in June 2006.. I found my self only lost 8 pounds....!!  I came to this board to research the sleeve and I found you wonderful people, this wonderful procedures and a wonderful dr in Dr. Alvarez in Mexico.

On the day of surgery I weight 254... and came out without a sleeve because of scarring.

Today (not quite a month yet) I am 237 and I am eating sensibly(not perfectly) but sensibly as life is SOOO much better without the band.. but NOT as good as it could be with a sleeve... But i am happy so I am not emotionally eating.. I am exercing 6 days a week with my bike, roller skating, running(yes.. I am running again) WII fit(damn thing said I was 56 in wii fit age!!) and many aerobic and strength training classes at the local golds....

I am finding a finger or 2 full of room in my 16 old navy jeans( the new ones.. not the old stretched out ones) this is because i have an athletic built and a very toned and tight abs and legs... and my goal is not too far away... I want to lose 20 more pounds .. but for real.. I will be happy with 10 more pounds and/or some size 14's in my life!!  Thst is something I think I can maintain and live with.. My health is good,, the incisiions healed well and my sex life is PHENOMENAL(sp)!! 

I continue to follow all of you and your journey.. I post in every now and then.. and I am very much still a sleevester at heart... (some days i do so well with eating I thing Dr A lied and really did sleeve me!!)

Until later my friends...
