Hi, my name is Lela Martin, I am 5 days post surgery and I chose the Gastric Sleeve, to me it appeared to be less complications also quick recovery, with excellent results.
I am hoping to (well first I never had a school girl figure, I was always known as the big girl), get a school girl figure so to speak!
Okay so now here is a little about me,
I am 49 years old, within the past 11 months I have began a life changing plan, at 316 pounds I was depressed, felt ugly, (although my husband and children would always tell me I am beautiful) also I knew that if I did not get a hold on my weight that I was headed for some health problems (which fortunately at the time I had no health issues other than sleep apnea)
So this morning being 5 days after surgery, 4 days home, I step on the scales and my weight is 267, now I lost from 316 to 284, 32lbs before day of surgery, now 17lbs since surgery, for a total of 49lbs!
