I did not realize how much difference having the gastric sleeve procedure would change my life. I did not expect such fantastic results. I was overweight almost all my life, diets did not work for me. At the time of my surgery I weighed 262 lbs, I am now at 206 lbs in three months. I am down three sizes. Before I had the surgery, my doctor was getting ready to add more medications for my diabetes, my numbers were close to 200. Also he wanted to increase my high blood pressure medication. Within weeks of the surgery, my diabetes numbers were in the 80's and 90's, my blood pressure was under control. My medication has been cut back while my doctor is monitoring me. I hope to be off most of my medication in the next few months. The last time I went to the doctor's office he was so happy for me and hugged me. Others have noticed the weight loss and I have received so many compliments. I feel so much healthier.

I is one of the best decisions I have ever made.
