I'm so psyched and happy! I love my sleeve!

My torn muscle from sneezing is almost healed, I decided to weigh myself today. I was trying to wait until my 6 week check up, but figured this was a milestone too -- 3 weeks out, kinda half-way.

Well....
I lost 35.5 lbs! Since June 23rd!!!!
I'm so happy.. so freakin' happy!

TY to my surgeon, Dr. Savoie, and his team... for giving me my life back.
Words cannot express how amazing they are.

That is so awesome Carly!  Great to hear that you are on the mend and your weight loss is increasing.

that is so awesome
just a question, if you did not wait that long in Hali do you think you still would have gotten in that quick in NB?

 Thanks guys!

While I was living in Halifax, my specialist sent a referral to NB when Dr. Savoie first opened his bariactric clinic.
So I was one of his original referrals.  I relocated to NB in the summer of 2010.

It's about the same wait, they're doing really well at keeping on top of things there.
He's an amazing surgeon.. and his staff are the best!  He's worth the wait!

NB is over a 10 yr wait too?  Crap we just have no choice here but to go elsewhere.

 I didn't say NB was over a 10 year wait.

 Everyone loses at different times, and different amounts.
My guy friend who had this done was down 50 lbs by his 3 week check up.

It also depends on how much you have to lose, etc. and I'm a big girl -- probably  much larger than you to start.    Whenever I stall, you could be melting... and just sailing through that phase.

Don't measure your own success by someone else's.   If we did that, we'd all be crazy.
