I have always struggled with my weight my entire life. when I was younger it was mostly about looks. I am a pediatric nurse and 54 years of age now. it is no longer a matter of looks but health and the way my body feels. it had reached the point that I could barely move. I managed to go to work but that was it. no energy for anything extra. my body and joints hurt all the time. I had become antisocial. that just is not my personality! it has been 6 days since my surgery and my body already feels 85 percent better. my pain has diminished dramatically! its not that I've lost so much weight but getting rid of all the toxins poisons in the foods I had been eating. although I'm sure I have lost weight I am going to wait to weigh myself at my doctor's office on the 14th of this month. the Gastric Sleeve was the solution for me. but it may not be for just anybody. You must read up on it and know what to expect. It is not a cure it is a tool. my experience from the beginning to the end with the hospital and staff was perfect. very kind professional and attentive to me at all times and I thank them for that. I will continue to update as time goes on.
