28 No Kids and Praying for a Change - Mexico

Ok you guys I'm 6 months out from Gastric Sleeve surgery and I'm so happy that I did it....I'm not going to lie I had moments that I cried and asked myself why did I do this to myself but that was in the beginning when I didn't understand how to eat and the process but now I'm so grateful for this gift I gave myself... 93 lbs lighter and so much confidence whooooooo!!!!!!. But of course now I have loose skin and need a TT, breast reduction, lipo and arm lift so I'm looking into doctors in DR but I'll take loose skin over fat body any day of the week lol I have 40 lbs to lose to reach my personal weight goal and then it's cut cut snip time loll either way I have to wait a year before I can have any major surgery but I'm ok with that...I'll just continue to go to the gym and eat correctly.....anyone who is reading this and is apprehensive on doing this surgery......please don't waste time!!! I promise it will be the best thing you've done for yourself just make sure you choose a great doctor... My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner in life.... I'm ecstatic I'm on this journey ;)

Hi you guys..I'm doing very well I don't have as much gas as I had before due to the excessive walking I've been doing. I've lost an additional 7lbs so now I am 277!!!! I'm so excited... I've learned that I must must sip my drinks or I will get a rapid heart beat and chest pains...my incisions are starting to heal up nicely..thank God no infections....The only problem I'm having is the dreaded head hunger! Loll it's crazy you guys... I'm physically full but my brain keeps telling me that I need to eat and I catch myself dreaming about all kinds of food and my mouth waters whenever I'm around food! I've learned that I just need to walk away fast lol. Dr Jose Rodriguez Villarreal did a great job on me! I would recommend him to anyone. I know it's early in the game to say that but I really feel my journey is going to be successful. Sorry for the jumping around I'm just so excited!!!!!

Ok I'm finally able to update wow! What a process. I arrived in Mexico on 10/14/15 had all of the required testings done and had my surgery on 10/15/15..I really don't remember anything about the surgery...I was just taken to the operation preparation room given medication...fell asleep and woke up with the worst gas pain ever created!....I asked when would the surgery began and was told it was already done. Wow I touched my stomach and could feel the bandages and incisions...when I returned to my room my mom told me I was gone for 3 hours!!! but I felt like I just left the room. I didn't throw up thank God but I was really out of it salivating everywhere loll. I've been having a hard time with the IV because I have very small veins but everything went smooth and I've been walking a lot to get rid of this horrible gas pains. I thank God and my mother for helping me through this process. No regrets as of yet. Pictures coming soon
