I Had gastric sleeve on April 8, 2010, two months prior to my 36th birthday. My highest weight as an adult was 195 lbs. Keep in mind I'm only 5'1". I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes at the age of 24 and throughout the years developed high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Prior to surgery, I was on insulin and three other medications. Only one month after surgery I was off all medications.It's been almost two years since my surgery and I am ecstatic about my new found life. I think that because I reached my goal so quickly, it has been a big adjustment for me psychologically and emotionally. I'm slowly dealing with those changes day to day. If I had to do it all over again, I would do it in a heartbeat.
