I Am at my Goal Weight for the First Time in 5 Years

WORTH IT
I had a weight loss procedure done where he sewed my stomach to make it smaller. It was done through my throat. No incisions no bleeding! I was 214 when I met him. After 3 days of liquids, I was 204 days of surgery. 9 months later I weigh 159. My goal was 149-159.... but I actually look really really small right now and have no fat to lose!!!!! 
I am an athletic build so even at 159 wear a size small top. I am thoroughly satisfied. The anesthesia was rough. I did not like how I went under. It was too much too fast. But for Christmas, I got my mom the same procedure... I shared with them the anesthesia experience and they corrected it for her. She had an excellent experience and also lost all of her excess weight. 
I love that they have a Buckhead location for follow up appointments as I live in Buckhead. His wife is also a doctor. She taught me how to eat... 3 small meals. No snacking. And to intermittent fast. My weight loss was slow and steady- even through Covid as everyone was gaining weight. Between her advice and his excellent surgical skills, I will remain at this weight.
