I had thought about having WLS many times before but was still unsure.  With me being a diabetic, it made it harder for me to lose the excess weight. It seemed like the harder I tired the more I seem to gain.  When I worked out my body especially my feet would hurt.  So after reaching my highest weight of 297, I decided it was time to do something.  I started my quest February 2016 by calling Dr. Rosen’s office.  Dr. Rosen was highly recommended by my primary physician.  I was a bit scared in the beginning but after careful research and talking to staff at Life weigh Bariatrics I felt more at ease with each visit.  The staff there was very caring and helpful in helping me get over my fears.  I decided to go with gastric sleeve.  My surgery on Dec 15, 2016, the day of surgery I weighed in  at 279.  So I was already down 18 pounds.  Well today I am almost 8 months post-surgery and down 61 pounds total.  Weighing in today at 236.  I feel great, look terrific and can now workout without pain.  My goal is to reach 200 pounds maybe max out at 180 which is where I was before giving birth to my children.   I am so glad of the decision I made and wouldn’t change a thing.
