I have struggled with my weight since I was 10 years old, I had started dieting at that age as well. I had my surgery in June of 2012 I got the gastric sleeve. I loved how everything was all included and they picked us up at the airport took us across the border and took us to the surgery center. I had the surgery that day and then 2 days later, I also had some dental work done, it was a great choice too, I came home a new women. To date, I have lost 81 lbs and am still losing. It was the best thing I have ever done. The sleeve is less invasive, 2 of my siblings had the gastric bypass in the states and they had dumping syndrome and had some very difficult times. I am so grateful for the Doctors and for the way it has helped me in my life.
