Can't believe I got my life back by going to Mexico......but I did! (01/14/2015)
I'm a skeptic, I don't believe anything I read on the internet so I won't blame you if you don't believe me......but I was desperate. I finally had enough with my weight.

With regards to my decision to have Gastric Sleeved Surgery in Mexico, I only shared a few details with very few people. My daughter called me as we were approaching the Mexican border and needless-to-say, she became concerned for my safety. There was no need for concern because from the time I (w... * read more.

I can crawl on the floor with my 1 yr old! (01/13/2015)
It's one of the best things I've ever done! I was 225 and could kneel to bath my baby. A friend had just had the surgery and encouraged me to do it. The recuperation was hard especially with caring for a baby but my husband was so supportive. I've plateaued several times but am now hovering around 1... * read more.

I am 5'6" & I was 237 pounds. Before my gastric sleve surgery, I was very sad all the time, had horrible back pain, & no life.
