I was motivated to have the gastric sleeve done because I was twice the size I was in Highschool , on 4 blood pressure pills and 2 cholesterol pills. My liquid diet start date weight was 425 and my surgery day weight was 400. I am 3 months out from surgery and have lost 126 pounds!! I've gone down 12 inches in my pant waist and from a 5X shirt to a 3X shirt. I'm very happy with the results and hope to lose another 75 pounds over the next year.
