Hi!
I recently had a gastric sleeve surgery in April of this year (2014) and to date have lost 120 lbs from my starting weight of 500 lbs.
Having surgery was NOT an easy out, but because of the amount needed to lose, made the journey bearable and more attainable.
Today, I weigh 370 lbs and am feeling great! I have almost gotten off all diabetic medications and have cut my high blood pressure meds in half.
I have just joined a gym and am starting the next phase of my goal and that is to lose an additional 120 lbs.
Looking for encouragement along the way and would love to make new friends!
Thanks for reading!
