I also got the sleeve on August 2nd, and so far have lost 38 lbs.t's been 5 weeks 3 days and just started water aerobics and riding my mountain bike! Can't wait til i can do crunches and squats. Am able to keep down so much more water now and food.Almost at my 40 day on Sept 11th. Just back from a weekend road trip n San Francisco and didn't gain a lb! My Drs have been super supportive no nausea or pain.Go for it, your whole life will change! Also am never hungry but still make myself eat! Great News ! My Dr has taken me off all blood pressure medicine , he says I no longer need it!'ve only had to take my diabetes med 5 times since I've been home and only half of It 2.5 mg !
