I have a gastric sleeve in 2019 and did really well with it...lost 89 lbs..... but due to some circumstances such as breaking my leg at the end of 2019...i had limited mobility for a few months with that.... and of course 2020 was just challenging for everyone i noticed i was stress eating and not getting full....i tried to do a reset on my sleeve but i think I let it go one too long......so this was all on me....

I decided 2021 was going to be the year to get back on track. So i went back to Tijuana on March 16- 2021 and had the sleeve to mini bypass procedure.....I woke up in recovery with No pain whatsoever....no nausea....nothing. I actually felt so good that I could have probably went home but i knew i needed to stay.......I was shocked that i had no side effects....i was not even really sore the second day....this was my sign that I did the right thing so i can be a better me for me and a better mom and companion.

Thank you so much!
