My name is Angie, I'm a 49 year old single mom of two boys aged 22 & 18. I have always been overweight but active and I just figured that was ok. But after some health problems I ballooned up to 262 lbs and felt just awful. I got diabetes and hypertension and had to have knee replacements. My feet, knees (yes the replacement), and hips hurt. After I lost my Mother in 2011, I decided that enough was enough and although I was working out, and had lost some weight I was not going to be able to reach my goal without some help. So in January 2012 I attended my first gastric sleeve appointment at Cleveland Clinic. The process was long and the 2 week liquid regimen prior to surgery was hard, but looking back I am so glad I had the surgery!!! I had no difficulties after the surgery, and I followed the doctors orders and started to figure out the eating stuff and increased my exercise, and the weight began to disappear!! I feel wonderful and I am PROUD of myself. Clothes shopping is fun, I love bright colors and the weight loss has allowed me to indulge, probably too much (smile). I workout 4 times a week at the gym (cardio & free weights) and make sure that I get any form of exercise every day (walking the dog, climbing stairs, or riding my bike). I plan never to go back to my old weight or my sedentary life style, I feel too good to turn back now.
