Hello, my name is Denise and I am from Bartlesville, OK.

I was sleeved on 12-11-12 at Bailey Medical in Owasso, OK and my Surgeon was Dr. Katsis, My starting weight was 450 lbs and as of 1-7-13 at my 4 week check up I was at 408 lbs.! YAY!

My experience to date, has been amazing. I have the worlds best family and friends, they are my cheeleaders.

I don't have any complaints, if you read my story, you will see that my health was so bad that this has been a gift of God to me and I am so blessed to have the tool to help me regain my life. So every step of this journey I am going to Celebrate because this journey is a precious gift to me.

Thank you for letting me introduce my self!

God Bless!

Welcome - good luck on your journey!

Deano
