[FatNoMore9869 32]

My journey started when i was diagnosed with type 2 Diabeties (5/25/2016) . Sucks rocks right no worse, my dad died of this or just the tip of the iceberg.

Weight was 265 middle of June, with a BMI of 43.6. NOT good to say the least. Said to myself , girl you need change!! My PCP has done all he could do for me and told me to see a bariatrics doctor. So with no further a do I did.

Doctor says you know your insurance won't pay fir those shakes your eyeing. That's just a quick fix. Quickly he asks me how much do I want to lose???? Ummmm 90 pounds! . Well he said "I've got the perfect surgery for you then. He proposed the sleeve and asked me to stop by the clinic to hear all about it. I did boy am I glad forever changed my life.

Gathered all my appointments cleared everything in one week, just 6 nutritionists appointments sir between me and my surgery date. The diet was unruly,(only liquids ) but faced it head on. Date is set for Nov 12 day after my sons birthday . Day of surgery I weigh in at 206, move in the right direction but not enough for me.

Surgery went well so well, that I am happy to say this once 18/20 size pants 265 lb. girl is now 130 and a size 5/6.

I hope everyone finds there gappy place and likes it, I do.

PS. I'm still losing weight!!
