Gastric Sleeve Changed my Life... - Dallas

  • Me with my chinchilla Shima.  This was Dec 2009
  • Me with my chinchilla Mysti, this was August 2010 and -70lbs.
  • The picture that shows my "skinny" legs.  hehe

This has been the best decision of my life. I have been overweight since the age of 7, and for the first time in my life I am not "obese". I have lost 80lbs and am on target for another 20, give or take.

I no longer have high blood pressure (which I was diagnosed with at age 14, I am 40 now) or type two diabetes.

Dr B is sweet, professional, and skilled. His office staff is amazing, and the follow up doctor, Dr is a doll.

I highly recommend them to anyone considering this procedure.

Great review?

Congrats! I am going to go get my sleeve in Mexico in 25 days. I have type 2 diabetes and am so ready to be done with it!

That is so exciting! I'd love to be able to get rid of my type 2 diabetes. Did you really pay 6000$ in Dallas? Was that with insurance or without insurance?

Hi Mommy4lipo,

Are you considering a sleeve gastrectomy or a different WLS?

Best regards,

Kirsty

Thanks for sharing with us. Did you find it easy after surgery, changing your eating habits etc?

You look great!
