Well It has been 4 months and 70 pounds since my surgery. At the very top of my weight of 358 I was feeling that this is it. This is how I am going to DIE!! Can't walk hated to take showers cause it was so much work and going to the bathroom became an obstical.. I hated me and I abused food, but I did crave to be living... I found online a link that saved my life and with a few thousand dollars I got what I would call a life saving procedure called the Sleeve. Now after 4 months I have gone down from 358 to 288 and still losing.. I am so happy about this experience.. Dr. Mario Almanza and his staff where wonderful and so helpful.. I am coming back to life and I feel it.
