Hi! My name is Gwen (Gwen S on OH). I was sleeved on 6/3/08 and I
have lost 24 pounds so far. My starting BMI was 56, it was around
51/52 when I had surgery and now it is around 46. YAY!

I am with Lisa - I am happy with my sleeve, just never thought
getting the weight off would be so hard. I have stalled many times in
my less than 7 weeks with it. The best thing though is that I am
losing. I know that I wouldn't be at this weight without it.

I am really happy to have found you all.
Gwen
