yes, its true!
i was sleeved december 20th, 2011.
i went through hell and back.
starting weight: 273lbs.
starting bmi: 51.6 (extremely obese)
jeans: 18-22.
todays weight: 156lbs.
todays bmi: 29.5 (overweight)
jeans: 4-8.
my ultimate goal is 135lbs.
since im 156lbs, my goals are:
155lbs.
149lbs.
145lbs.
139lbs.
135lbs.
this keeps me going and keeps me feeling accomplished! even though, every pound feels like a victory at this point!!!
after my experience with my leak, would i have this surgery again if i had to? F*** NO!
but am i happy that im sleeved and healthy? YES!
for those who are wondering about my leak... heres the story!!
i was sleeved dec 20th, 2011. had a swallow test the 21st, showed no leak. i was sick until able to eat soft foods in my 4th & 5th week. those 2wks, i felt amazing besides the fact i threw up bile 2x within those 2wks. nurse practioner scheduled another swallow test & i had a leak. i was hospitalized for over 2wks & was HORRIBLY sick! didnt eat for over a month & would throw up bile about 6-12x per day. i had 3 emergency procedures that month & i thought i was going to die as the drs kept using the F word... FATAL!
long story short, after removing the stent, i was so much better that instant! like god saved my life!!! and he did.
so overall, im down 117lbs & looking good.
