As with most of us , I have battled my weight for 25 years, I have tried every diet known to man! I have lost weight on Weight Watchers in the past but each year I gained and gained until I was right back to my Original weight. I just got so tired of the up and down. The breaking point with me ... When my Granddaughter was born I was skinny at that time, throughout her 4 years of life, I have gradually gained weight. In 2012 I suffered a neck injury and my mobility was very limited. So throughout last year I gained about 50 pounds. And my granddaughter was setting in my lap, and she grabbed my cheeks and said Nene are you getting fat? I said yes I have gained a lot of weight. She said well Nene you have to stop that! I don't want you to be Fat.. (Broke my heart into!) She said you need to go on a diet Nene.. And at that moment, I knew I would do what ever it took to be healthy and to take back control of my life. My own Mother was morbidly obese and had many health problems, and at the young age of 59, my mother died from a stroke.. I'm 43 and the thought of not being here to see my Boys and my granddaughter throughout their lives, pushed my to take action. I tried to get approved through my Insurance, only to find out that It covered no weight loss surgeries. So I set out researching other options. I found Dr. Alamnza and On March 18th 2013, I had my Gastric Sleeve. I have lost 20lbs, and my granddaughter said to me, NeNe your face is getting skinny... Music to my ears! I want my Boys and my Granddaughter to be proud of me, and more importantly I want them to have me around for a long time to come!
