I HAVE STRUGGLED WITH BEING OVERWEIGHT SINCE I WAS 5 YEARS OLD. I TRIED EVERYTHING LOSING AND THEN GAINING IT BACK MANY TIMES. WOULD I DO IT AGAIN?? PROBABLY. I LOVE LOOKING IN THE MIRROR BUT I USUALLY QUICKLY DIDNT LOOK BEFORE. THE COMPLEMENTS I GET FROM MY CUSTOMERS MAKES ME FEEL SO GOOD. THERE ARE A LOT OF STRUGGLES ALONG THE WAY. TRYING TO GET YOUR PROTEIN IN AND EATING OUT CAN BE QUITE THE CHALLENGE. I THINK YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF. I HAVE LOST 60 ILBS AND WALKING AND GOING UP STAIRS IS SO AMAZING. I AM OFF MY BP MEDS. I AM SO LUCKY THAT I HAVE MY HUSBAND SUPPORTING ME THROUGH THIS JOURNEY.
THE CARE AT THE HOSPITAL WAS GOOD. LANGUAGE WAS A PROBLEM AFTER SURGERY BUT I MANAGED.AFTER CARE IN HOTEL WAS A BIT SLOW BUT THE DAY I HAD IT DONE WAS A VERY BUSY DAY. THE ONLY THING ABOUT HAVING IT DONE OUT OF COUNTRY IS THERE IS NO AFTER CARE. I DID E MAIL AND THEY DID TRY TO HELP ME. MY FAMILY DOCTOR IS NOT FAMILAR WITH THIS SURGERY.
