Dr Sartor n his staff was amazing. I had been wanting to have this procedure for over a year now.Ive known several ppl to have had this done by Dr Sartor.Initially I was nervous but anxious n excited all in one. My weight has been a concern of mine only because I'm so compact(short)-lol. I'm skating on 5 feet. It seems like the weight piles on u overnight.Ive always been really active (working out, veggie eater).Its like I woke up n I was 50-75 pds heavier than normal. Well I got a little lazy after i had my son almost 5 yrs ago. So I know I needed the extra push n motivation.I didn't realize how quickly it piled on n come pile off. But o well I am wanting a better mentally,physically and emotionally life. I had to make a change. They gave me the tool and u bet I'm using it. Sometimes we have to find ourselves inside ourselves - u know find the inner you that makes u happy. I initially wanted to go to Mexico to hv procedure done but the thought of being away from my baby n family was too much for me. And I didn't wanna be lost if any complications came about.So I choose to go to my hometown n have start the process. Recovery was very manageable, I pushed myself to walk and do breathing treatments. I got SLEEVED March 4 2020. My starting weight was 199pds.Same weight I was went I had my son -smh-gotz to be more careful. Day of surgery I was 195. My current weight now is 158.6.(as of Aug 7,2020).I walk and or jog 3-6 miles daily,take my centrum n biotin 10,000 mg and drink plenty of water.My ideal weight is 120.Im getting there,n I'm not stopping anytime soon.I prayed about it ,prayer was delivered n I'm on a mission to be healthy once again.No complications what so eva n great support team. I didn't tell anyone but my mom because I didn't want to hear all the what if's or the try more harder. She was there with me day of, made sure I didn't hv any worries.My son came down with me n my mom husband kept my son. My son was well taken care of while I stayed overnight.I wouldn't hv had it any other way.Had the procedure on a Wednesday (up walking the same day few hours later)n was back home Saturday (drove 2 1/2hrs away) and felt great. I had to relearn how to not eat as much,chew to mush and take my time. Though I was in liquids for a month,the smell of homecook food would make me gag. This procedure is definitely a game changer for long term success. Updated on 10 Aug 2020: update pictures of me now. I am even more active now endurance is up n I'm loving it. I cant say THANK U ENOUGH for this opportunity for this life changing experience.THANK U -THANK U-THANK U ----all the way from Mississippi to LouisianaI will continue to upload pictures.
