yes, its true!

i was sleeved december 20th, 2011.

i went through hell and back.

starting weight: 273lbs.

starting bmi: 51.6 (extremely obese)

jeans: 18-22.

todays weight: 156lbs.

todays bmi: 29.5 (overweight)

jeans: 4-8.

my ultimate goal is 135lbs.

since im 156lbs, my goals are:

155lbs.

149lbs.

145lbs.

139lbs.

135lbs.

this keeps me going and keeps me feeling accomplished! even though, every pound feels like a victory at this point!!!

after my experience with my leak, would i have this surgery again if i had to? F*** NO!

but am i happy that im sleeved and healthy? YES!

for those who are wondering about my leak... heres the story!!

i was sleeved dec 20th, 2011. had a swallow test the 21st, showed no leak. i was sick until able to eat soft foods in my 4th & 5th week. those 2wks, i felt amazing besides the fact i threw up bile 2x within those 2wks. nurse practioner scheduled another swallow test & i had a leak. i was hospitalized for over 2wks & was HORRIBLY sick! didnt eat for over a month & would throw up bile about 6-12x per day. i had 3 emergency procedures that month & i thought i was going to die as the drs kept using the F word... FATAL!

long story short, after removing the stent, i was so much better that instant! like god saved my life!!! and he did.

so overall, im down 117lbs & looking good.
