One year ago tomorrow my life changed for the better. I was registered and checked into McAllen Heart Hospital for Gastric Sleeve surgery. My mom, I think was more nervous than I. My nervousness came from not knowing how many times they would poke me with a needle to get the IV in. Thank God the nurse got it in one shot. I eventually got wheeled into the operating room. I was knocked out and had 80% of my stomach removed. Surgery went well and I was sent home the next day. Since then, it has been a great journey. I have lost 132 pounds. My BMI has gone from 50.1 to 31.7. I have dropped 6 sizes, from Womens plus size 28 to a regular size 16. This by far has been the best decision I have ever made. It's tough sometimes, with so much delicious food out there. But I look at how far I have come and nothing tastes as good as healthy feels. This was taken just a few weeks ago. I am pretty happy with my results so far.
