Good LUCK fingers crossed for you

I love GHP...They are amazing I had Dr. Baker. They are so skilled in their field it's Ridiculous...The morning i had surgery they also performed a woman that had drove all the way from Florida to have them do her Sleeve. My surgery was jan-18-11 and i'm down 200 lbs thanks to them... Everyone there is so helpful...and all the doctors work together

I had Grand Health partners as well...Dr. baker...In Grand rapids..I love those guys they do GREAT WORK

It will go Congrats to you on your decision for you health!

Congrats to you Keep up the great work!!!

I'm so proud of how far i have come. And the gastric sleeve is the best thing to ever happen to me!

395 lbs 220lbs 203lbs

At my highest i wieghed about 415 lbs that i am aware of....When i started my process of getting the sleeve i came in at 395lbs and was considered super super morbid obese....I lost my first 100 about the first year out and the 2nd throughout the 2nd year out... I now weigh 203 lbs with a bmi of 30 ... I'm pretty tall and big boned and would be content with maybe another 20 but that's it if that at all...I eat about 1000 calories a day ..no liquid calories at all...NEVER drink with a meal...And try to make good choices high protien i shoot for 90grams a day less than 25 g of sugar. Also i try to stay super active..I run around all day long at my job and go to the gym 3-4 days a week..I do alot of cardio and strength training at least once a week.. I love the sleeve...I never knew what it was to really live until i was able to to do it through a healthy body...Kinda like i didn't know

If you have come to the point in your life where you feel that the surgery is needed vs. un-needed then why second guess yourself. Something has brought you to the point of " I need to loose this weight and can-not do it on my own for my overall healther". I never knew what it was to FEEL good and healthy until I got here because an unhealthy lifestyle was all i knew. I would never go back and never change my decision. It was worth it ...

As for loose skin it's not too bad...At my heaviest i weighed about 415 lbs so of course there is going to be some mainly due to the fact i would yo-yo 100 lbs down 150lbs up...prior to surgery. So i still have a little bit of a saggy belly...Not that bad..and a little flabby arms...Nothing I can't live with and nothing clothes can't cover up. I may later done the road get a tummy tuck or something but it hasn't bothered me bad enough to the point where i want to . It's not like i plan on putting on a 2 piece any time soon and strutting my stuff..lol i am healthy and happy that's all i need

Aww Thanks Cheri.. You look amazing as well. I'm also more than happy to share what i have learned along the way. I just want and hope everyone else can feel as great as I do.

I had the same problem...5000 Biotin fixed it like everyone else said...i have been taking it every day for the past 2 years...and it's been better since
