So I ll get to point, before surgery I was 532 pounds, taking 12 medications to live, and barely making it into work. The trip to Mexico was wonderful, the Doctors, nurses and staff were amazing! My procedure went well and I arrived home and have healed well. Now I will say I ve had bumps in the road, and this is not an easy thing to do. It will tear you up and spit you out mentally, SO MAKE SURE YOUR PREPARED AND READY. I prepped myself for over a year to do this and in order to get through this journey I ve dug deep in my soul to find the me I lost so long ago. So it s been 8&1/2 weeks since my surgery. I m now 408 pounds and have lost 124 pounds, I know I have a lot more weight but I m able to do more than I have done in years. I m grateful for the doctors, nurses, and staff at the hotel. Everyone was amazing! Make sure you have a support group not only with family but others who have gone through this surgery it helps immensely to ask for help. Also wanted to let weight loss agents know that I appreciate them so much! They were amazing and still when I need them they are always there. So good luck with your journey, I wish you well and hope for your success.
