My journey

[Yolanda4949 4]

Well I've been heavy my whole life. Been made fun of my whole life. Highest weight was 327.4. At that point I made the decision to start working out. It went great. Lost 60 pounds in 5 months. I actually kept it off. I plateaued, but hey it was still off. Till 3 years ago when my mother died. She was the Rock of the family. Then bam it started coming back on. So I started working out again and nothing was moving. One of my co-workers had the gastric sleeve surgery June of 2014. She gave me Mexico Bariatric Center email address and I started researching. I finally made my mind up. February 26th, 2015 was the day that would change my life forever. When I had got to Mexico I didn't realize that I had ballooned up to 324.8. Whoa wth! Thank the lord I found Dr. Ismael Cabrera and Mexico Bariatric Center. To date I'm down 94 pound with 56 to goal.

Maintenance is much more difficult than the loss, that's why WLS is such a good tool. This may give you some understanding: http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/health/blog/nutrition/2014/05/the_reason_you_cant_keep_the_w.html

Great job to date though and congrats and welcome to the family.
