Today is my one year anniversary (June 28) of my weight loss surgery. Yes, I am a gastric sleeve weight loss patient and I have NO regrets. I needed to do something because I was dying. There was a sense of urgency due to Obstructive sleep apnea, high blood pressure and bad knees. I am happy to report that I no longer suffer from these illnesses that were brought on by obesity. My surgery, by one of the best surgeons in Houston, Dr. Ken Hollis was a blessing from God. I am so amazed how God used him and He certainly gets the glory. I walked almost daily after the surgery until recently when I joined 24 Hour Fitness June 1. I now have enough energy to workout everyday and I love it. I'm looking for a personal trainer to help me go where I've never gone before. Yes, I want to be softly ripped! I know some frown upon surgery and say it's cheating. Well, cheating saved my life! I did what worked for me at over 40. I hope my testimony is encouragement for someone else. We am still in the struggle but no longer struggling.

I believe God presents us with opportunities when we need them. Go for it in faith. He brought you to this point, He will see it through!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
