VikingR6 9 Posted March 8, 2019 Hello all, I am finally joining a weight loos group. After my mother and others from my own support group have told me how I’m here to inspire others and help them along their journey. I have had the Sleeve with Duodenal switch for two years now. February of 2017. The highest I ever saw on a scale was 575. And I’m sure it’s been ten pounds or more over that at some point in my life. And being that Heavy at such a young age (26) and starting my own family. I knew I had to change. But I also knew I couldn’t do this alone. Thanks to Dr. Scott and the surgery I am down 350 pounds have gone from a size 64 pants to a 34. 6xlt shirt to a large. In just 2 years. I wish I had some secret to give everyone on here and to tell you it’s gonna be easy. It’s not. The easiest thing about all of this is getting the surgery. After that it’s all uphill. Learning your new body. Slowly Discovering new loves and hates for foods. Trial and error as to what sits well with your stomach and what doesn’t. Trust me. Your body will let you know. Listen to it!! 3 1 1 DanaC84, Bari_KS, Laura7 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
