My name is Carole and I am 64 year of age I had the bariatric sleeve surgery on May 28, 2014 in Margate, Florida. I located my doctor on the internet. I checked out his references and made an appointment to meet with him to discuss different types of surgery. I also attended a seminar for the Lap Band surgery. After checking out the pros and cons of the sleeve vs the lap band I chose the sleeve because I wanted something permanent.
I had the surgery on Wednesday May 28th, released from the hospital on Friday, had my first check up on the following Tuesday. I went to see the doctor for my 3 month and 6 month check up and all went great.
As of today 13 months later I have lost a total of 92.5 pounds. When I first met with Dr. Wizman I weighed in 257.7 pounds. I now weight 165.2. I feel great, look great, have no more signs of COPD, off all meds except my thyroid medication and I am walking and bike riding..... something that I haven't been able to do for many years......
I would recommend bariatric sleeve surgery to anyone who is over weight and has struggled loosing weight. Yes its a permanent surgery, a different way of eating for the rest of your life..... but it is all worth it.
