26 Years Old and Needed the Gastric Sleeve - Huntington, NY

Hi everyone I'm now around 151. Doing well with my weight journey weight is coming off slowly but still shedding pounds only about 21 pounds from 130. I still exercise almost everyday. I have chicken or fish for lunch or dinner breakfast is scrambled eggs with cheese. I can start having oatmeal once a week with protein powder and exercise an extra hour. I have a picture below of the new me. I started at 223 or 230 at borderline diabetes and asthma. A lot of the asthma is gone but some allergies still to mites and seasonal allergies. No more being out of breath as much it's a miracle. Had my surgery on jan. 7th. Now we are at August 11th.

I basically went from 233 now being 180. That was amazing. I eat small portions and learn to eat slowly with all types of food. The surgery took only an hour and was forever life changing. I only experience a mild discomfort after, but the same day experienced a lot of pain. I was lucky. I avoid many carbs like bread and chips altogether. This has helped a lot in loosing weight plus I exercise daily, and drink 64 ounces of water.

Dr. Buchin was awesome spends a lot of time talking to me about surgery what to expect pre and post op. He answers questions thoroughly and precisely. I was very happy that my aunt recommended him and the sleeve. I struggled with obesity my whole life, but with this procedure and following the packet for what foods to eat, I am not struggling lately. I went through an amazing transformation thanks to my aunt and dr buchin.
