Bariatric Surgery Complete

Dr. Alvarez and his team are a God send. I had complications during surgery and instead of allowing me die, he called in an additional team of doctors.
After surgery I stayed 3 additional days with expensive additional treatments and was not charged $1 extra dollar. You read that right not $1 dollar. Dr. Alvarez treated me like family and so did all the Dr.s and nurses. I'm alive today because he did. I'm so thankful to Endobariatric. Would like to shout the nurses as well; Martin Garcia, Miguel, and so many more! They were an additional God send. Always happy, encouraging, caring and attentive.

My surgery was actually May 5th, 2021. I’m down 20lbs!! I crossed over into onederland. I must admit only eating 2 tablespoons for breakfast lunch and dinner is challenging. My kids have said I’m a little snippy lately but that’s what happens I guess when you use food for comfort. I’m excited about the weight loss though.

Most of my pants no longer fit but my dresses do. I’ll update agin in 30 days.

So this is a celebration post. I’m down 37lbs. I started at 220; now I’m 183!!! I’m so very excited about this. I’ve went from a 40DD down to a 38DD. I must admit though my little booty is gone. I’m going to have to walk up hill on a treadmill to get it back.

When I got married 6 years ago; I was 177. I’ll be that weight again within weeks. My ultimate goal is to be between 125-140. To put that in perspective that’s how big I was in the 8th grade. I haven’t been that small since. That feels weird to say but it’s the truth. I’m I happy I’m getting smaller. I must admit though breaking my addiction to food has not been easy. I’ve had many “teary days.” Prepare yourself for this mentally before you begin...maybe grab a counselor or join a support group; you’ll need it.

I look good though and I’m grateful to get away from obesity.
