Hi my name is Carrie I am 41 years old, I am 5'9 and before Nov 28th, 2013 my weight was 370 pounds. I had no life and really no desire to live. Then 3 months before my surgery date my uncles girlfriend told me about the surgery she just had and where. Of course it peeked my interest and I did a lot of looking around and research. Then I turned 40 and decided I need this change in my life. So I did it I went down to Mexico "my first time every leaving Canada" and just thought to myself 3 things 1) I will die if I don't so anything. 2) I will die getting this done and 3) I will be happy that I did it. Well I am now 1 year and almost 2 months out and IT'S THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE FOR MYSELF!!! I weight 187 pounds now and let me tell you how much my life has changed. I found the love of my life (I have never had a guy that truly was in love with me and I mean all of me). I am so much more Confident in myself. Just life it's self has all falling perfectly into place. On my year anniversary I posted pic's of myself "before and after" and that was the hardest day of my life. Because it was me finally letting go of my past. I would recommend this surgery to everyone that is over weight. It to me is a blessing. I also have to say that the Service and the Doctor where amazing as I am forever greatful they saved MY LIFE. <3
