1 Year Surgiversary Today!

One year ago today I had my Vertical Sleeve. I can't believe its been a year already. I went from 240 lbs in Feb 2011 to 229 lbs the day of surgery May 18 2011 to 142 lbs today.

I am 3 lbs from goal of 100 lbs. That is an amazing accomplishment. It wasnt a

Im New To The Site :)

On May 18th 2011, I had whats called a sleeve gastrectomy.   My weight gain was due to something called polycystic ovarian syndrome. I couldnt lose weight and it was affecting my metabolism. Then in December 2010 I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. And the weight was putting a strain on my heart.
