My procedure went very well my recovery was a little rough at first, but I am doing better. Every day on the post-op diet is a challenge, but it is a journey that is redefining my relationship with food and my appreciation for myself. I had the procedure that I have planned for: The gastric sleeve, and I am certain that I'm going to be pleased with the decision I have made. 2 weeks down and 14 pounds GONE! I am so certain that I made the right choice I already recruited a friend to change her life as well. She's excited and nervous but I have given her all the assurances she needs that this will be the best decision of her life, the easiest procedure to accomplish, and that she's going to get all the assistance and care she needs just as I did. Thank you very much for all of your support.
