Here is my before and after picture. I had gastric sleeve surgery May 4, 2016 and the picture on the left is from April 17, 2016, I weighed 310. The right is Oct. 20, 2016 and my weight is 208. I've lost a total of 102 pounds in just under 6 months! Even though I went into this with the goal of being successful, I never dreamed I could have been this successful! This journey had taught me so much about myself, that I am courageous and strong, that I can do things that I once thought were impossible. Last summer I went to Yosemite National Park with my family, and sat on a bench while they hiked around, I even cried because I felt so pathetic! This past summer we went to Smokey Mountain National Park, and not only did I hike but I hiked up some pretty steep paths!! So many things have become better having dropped 100 pounds. I am so happy I made the decision to have the sleeve, it truly is the best thing I have ever done for myself!!
