9 1/2 month and 184 lbs gone forever...

  • Popular Post

May 17th of last year was the day I started my new life after having surgery with doctor Alvarez down in Mexico.. The only thing I'm upset about this whole process is that I did not do this sooner. These past 9 months have been more of a wild ride then I had a ever imagined. If I had it to do all over again I would change nothing and go to the same process without hesitation. the day of my surgery I weighed 420 pounds as of this morning I weighed 236 not even 10 months later. At age 37 I felt as if I was 70 putting on 20 to 30 pounds a year you just do not realize how bad you feel now I feel as if I am 20. The stuff that I can do now that I could not do just 9 short months ago absolutely blows my mind I feel amazing. if you were still on the fence on whether you should have this done or not take it from me absolutely go for it I spent 3 years contemplating and finally pulled the trigger after all the research I pick the perfect doctor had an absolutely pain free experience and most of all I felt safe the whole time. I cannot say enough about how this surgery has changed life for me I wish everything was this simple.
