As some may know, I had Gastric Sleeve Surgery on May 16th. A few weeks after surgery, I had some complications and was unable to keep anything down, and a scan revealed I had a stricture. On June 11th I had a second surgery to remove the stricture. The stricture occurred at the bottom of my stomach and had pretty much looked like a plug, letting nothing pass into my intestines.

Let me say that this process has been hard. After the complication, I had to go back to the basics and was in a lot of pain, just as I was after the first surgery. I was in the hospital for 2 days after sleeve surgery and out for a week after surgery to remove the stricture.

Still, I don't regret it. It was still one of the best decisions I have made for my health. As of my last weigh-in on July 11th, I am 50lbs down. I am thankful to my doctors at BluePoint and for the great care I received from Sentara Potomac Hospital. And more importantly, I am grateful to God for watching over me through two surgeries and keeping me here to tell you all about it!
