My name is christi I'm a married mom of 3 teenage kids and I run multiple business. I've lost and gained weight most of my life and after my mom and younger sister got weight loss surgery, I decided it was my last option. I did the sleeve on April 9,2015 and have lost 133 pounds. Going from a size 24 to a size 12. It feels very surreal. Walking into a store and being able to buy clothes that were never an option for me before. No more worries about overflow No my airline seat or needing an seat belt extender. Finally the rest of the world sees me as I have always seen myself and that is the most amazing part!

I am so glad I did it! It was hard and I had to jump through a lot of hoops and it was at times painful, esp after surgery! But I wish I would have done it a lot sooner. If your thinking about doing it, it could change your life!

Here some photos of me before and after.

I just did.my sleeve. My weight before surgery was 349. Weight after surgery is 330. I did my sleeve on July 11, 2016. I'm just hoping and anticipating great results. BTW. U look gr8
