This Has Been an Amazing Journey - Atlanta, GA

I am excited just to think of how far I've come since my procedure one year ago. When I started this journey, I weighted almost 340 pounds but on May 8, 2015, my life changed. I was diagnosed as being a border line diabetic due to my weight so I made the decision to get the sleeve. I feel amazing!

I am 1year and 3 months post op and down 124 pounds from my highest weight of 337 and feeling amazing. I have gone from wearing a Women's size 28 to a Missy's size 12/14 and even some size 10 depending on the style/cut. I just attended my first "Masquerade Celebrate the Journey" Ball in Atlanta, GA and it was awesome. I had the pleasure of meeting so many people who have had various types of weight loss surgery and they look great. I only have 38 pounds to lose to reach my goal weight. I'm still excited about this journey and motivated to keep pressing forward until I reach my goal. I thank God for blessing me to go through the surgery and have no complications. It is only a matter of time before I will be in maintenance mode.

Hello Everyone!
I wanted to update you on my progress thus far. It has been 18 months since I had the gastric sleeve and I am very pleased with the results. I haven't had any complications and now I'm just working to get the last 35 pounds off before I have my body lift. It has been an amazing journey and I know that this last phase will be a challenge but I am prepared to face it head on. I met with my surgeon last week and she was very encouraging and congratulated me on my success with weight loss surgery. She said that I should be excited about taking this final step to complete this process and I am. I encourage anyone who read my posts to enjoy the journey and celebrate every milestone because they help you reach your ultimate goal.
