- Sleeved or not sleeved:
- I have had a gastric sleeve.
- Biography:
- I have been over weight for a while just been really healthy until I caught the flue real bad and realized when I got on the scale I had a bad weight problem so in 2003 I started the process of getting bariatric surgery in 2003 with Kaiser in Washington state. Well 2 years later and a lot of money I was still being put thru hoops and only lost 37 pounds without getting my surgery. I quit all the crazy appointments and tried on my own. I tried so many diets and put my body thru a roller coaster of ups and downs with gains and losses. I finally managed to maintain a body weight though still way over weight I decided that this was my life, very healthy just more of me to love. Well my kids grew up and I decided to change my life. They went off to college and to start their own lives but it was in another state, so I packed up and moved to Florida to start my new life in July of 2009, it took a year to get settled. At 313 lbs., I started my weight loss journey in July of 2011 with some help from a doctor. I now realize she was just lining her pocket with my money buying a ton of vitamins and lost 14 lbs in 7 months. I met Dr. Diaz in Febuary 2012 and with her help I am down to 259, 40 lbs. in 9 months. I was on phentermine but had to come off of it and went back up to 313 pounds in 4 months. We talked and both agreed that having this surgery would be a good option for me. So here I am waiting to see if my financing will go thru because my insurance does not cover anything to do with weight loss. This is crazy I want to be healthier before I have heart problems, diabetes or worse, these problems they will cover.

Hello my name is Stacy and I had the Vertical Gastric Sleeve done in Tijuana Mexico. Wow I feel like this is the start to a group meeting and I just took the first step. LOL
At 15 I never remember wishing to be overweight when I got older that wasn’t even a thought. I was so tiny then (5’-4” and all of 89 pounds) and never thought that the things I did then would affect me later, hey I was a teen and I was invincible. I never liked my picture being taken not even when I was thin.
