When making the decision to have surgery, do your homework. I researched for over a year before deciding to have surgery. Research your doctor and his results. Get your mind in the right place and expect to have doubts. About 5 days after surgery i ask myself, " what the hell have you done?". This past in about a 2 days. I got on the scale and was down 14 lbs. I have never looked back. You have to have determination and will power. You control what you eat and no one else. Before I eat anything, i ask myself,"how does this help me towards my goal?". This let saying has helped when I've been tempted.

I was sleeved on September 23, 2013. I am 4 months out and hit 75 pounds lost today! It has been work! Surgery is just a tool. You have to exercise and make the lifestyle change. I started walking and it took 30 minutes to walk a mile. I now can walk that mile in 20 minutes.

Will post pictures. One is day of surgery and the other is 3 month mark.

Keep up the good work!! Good advice
