So my journey began about a year and some change back in may 2012 i try to regularly exercise and do the gym thing i was about 410 lbs overweight had very high blood pressure that was the life i was accustom to than i tore my acl had to get it reconstructed so i had to get physical therapy during this time i gain about another 35 pounds.At this point both my doctors recommended me for an bariatic program and recommend i try dr .greene and thier weight loss program. I was a bit skeptical of surgery since i just came out of knee surgery so when i start their diet program began losing weight i knew i was in good hands when i 1st went dr. greene i was about 450 i began the process of changing my life i had this expectation of getting a lap band but with the knowledge ive gain and thier reccomendation i began leaning towards a sleeve so about 7- 8 months went by i lost about 110 pounds on my own than i was approved for surgery last month may so i schedule my surgery for june. as time got closer i began having my doubts and didn't know how i was gonna survive my 2week pre op liquid diet, especially after buffalo wild wings just open near my job so i was about 3 days b4 surgery was i was gonna call and cancel i wasn't sure i ready for this life change than i saw a video of a guy who was asked any regrets on getting the sleeve and he answer "i just wish i got it sooner" after that i got the courage to have the surgery to on 6/5/13. Ever since the surgery im loving the change i have no regrets im already down 36 pounds current 311 not even a week im use this tool to bring that person i been hiding all this time and acquire the life i always wanted im 24 and can't wait for this restart for me ^^ i hope this any1 i just thought would share.
