Hi my name is Amy and I started this journey at 570lbs, wearing a 7x shirt and a 44 pant. As a 34 year old woman I was trapped, held hostage by my own body. On the outside I was happy and accepting of myself and really I believed that for the most part. But if I really was honest I was miserable... Read more

When I started to develop early (at the age of 8) and I started to really gain weight, did I ever think I would end up 347 pounds? "Hell No!!" I used to tell my friends, when seeing someone who was 350+ pounds, "if I ever get that big, just shoot me!" Yet, on December 17, 2010, I stood on the... Read more

I had the Sleeve Gastrectomy on June 13, 2012, the day before I turned 44. Surgery went well, went home the next night. At 5 days out, I thought I had the flu, running low grade fever and feeling like I was hit by a truck. By Friday, I was running a 102 temperature and dehydrated. Went to... Read more

About 9 months ago I saw one of my FB friends mention on her status "-60". I inquired and she told me she had had gastric bypass surgery. In the back of my mind I always wondered about it since I had been heavy as long as I could remember. Once she described what a positive experience she had I... Read more

I researched for about 1 year after my lapband failed and had grown into my intestines, I had the removal on Canada, but the wait to get the sleeve was too long, so I decided to go to Mexico. Dr Garcia was awesome and it was a seamless experience. Between the two surgeries I had lost 105lb... Read more

I had the sleeve procedure on Dec 10, 2012, recovery was hard. I had this massive gas in my shoulder and back area for a week after surgery. I couldn’t drink anything because it made the pain worse, so, I ended up back in the hospital for a day for re-hydration and pain meds. Overall I... Read more

Hi everyone. I recently joined and have been very encouraged by all the stories of success. I'm in day 5 of the pre-surgery liquid diet and I have to say it is challenging. More so mentally than physically at this point. Day's 1-3 were physically hard, I was very hungry but the emotional battle... Read more

Ok so my journey started with a chance discussion with our new receptionist that I had just hired. I was overweight, diabetic, had high blood pressure and had trouble catching my breath going up the stairs. My weight at the highest was 220 lbs and I only know that because I had to weigh myself...

I've been over weight for about 13 years and I have two beautiful daughters and a wonderful husband that I would love to be active with. I have considered having weight loss surgery for 2 years now. I'm so ready to be lighter and healthier. I'm 5'7' and 300lb so it is definitively taking a toll... Read more
