Gastric Sleeve story



Recommended Posts

So my gastric sleeve story..... well I have never been extremely small but I was once fit and after 3 kids and a bad marraige, II was on the way to find myself again. I lost 46 pounds and was feeling great, that is when life changed forever. My son was diagnosed with cancer and a three year battle began. He lost that battle just over a year ago and I have been unable to find my way back to me again. The weight has piled on through the sadness and was now affecting my daily activites. So here I am. Post Op day 2..... It was a long journey but I am here now and on the road to a new me.

This is not an easy road but it's all about you. At this point in your life, you might find it assuring to have definite rules to follow. Your past has so obviously been out of your control. I wish you the very best.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
