I have been over weight and depressed for years. I finally decided to do something for myself and had the sleeve surgery on 02/11/2016. In 8 weeks I have lost 45 pounds. I feel so much better about myself, my confidence level has risen and I feel proud of myself for the first time in years. Has it been hard not eating, cutting back, exercising? Yes. Has it been worth it? Absolutely! Thank you to my wonderful team of caregivers from the registration folks to the surgery team to the after care team and the follow-up team back at home. Thank you so much!
