They call me "Biggie" and know me as "yosoyelmaspesao". My weight loss journey started on January 12, 2017. I had to wait 6 months to get my surgery. And in that time I had doubt, fear, worry, that I wouldn't go through with the surgery. But finally, my surgery date came. I was scheduled for July 3, 2017. My surgery came and went because my surgery was canceled. Then more doubt and fear came. And once again I was scheduled for surgery for August 17, 2017 and then rescheduled again for August 21, 2017. But, my surgery was finally done. I was sleeved. At first everything was great. Then slowly the complications started to creep up. First I couldn't hold anything down, then a horrible pain on my side. We come to find out my gallbladder isn't functioning. So, back to the operating room. Mind you I'm a person that had never had surgery prior to the sleeve. But, it was removed and things got better. Right now I'm almost 8 months into my surgery. Do I regret it? Nope. Would I do it again, yes. Even with all the complications, I've dealt with.

This surgery, this tool has given me a second chance at living. It's giving me an opportunity to accomplish goals, to reach milestones. I'm going to only keep moving forward.

Here I my stats:

My Hw was 582LBS, my Sw was 540LBS, and my current weight is 445LBS.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
