- I had a Gastric Sleeve 03/10/11. It was one of the best things I've ever done for myself! I used to suffer from sleep apnea and had severe back pain caused by herniated disc. I am down 150lbs. No more "Darth Vader" sleeping mask and I am pain free!!! Praise God!!! I remember being at a support group meeting just after my surgery and the leader asked people who were one year out if they could change anything in their journey so far what would it be and the majority said they wish they would have really pushed in and excersied the first 6 months. I took that to heart and really pressed in. I fell in love with Zumba so much- I took a class and became a certified instructor! I don't teach much- I just wanted the knowledge for myself. I have been married for over 22 years to a very supportive husband and we have an 19 year old daughter. I teach 2nd grade and live in GA
