BEFORE & AFTER GALLERY

Leonor

Procedure: Gastric Sleeve

I have always struggle with weight and health issues. For almost 11 years I have been on insulin pump and tried several diets exercise and always gain the weight back and more. I was taking so many medications 8 including the insulin and the list was getting bigger. I had foot surgery due to my overweight (torn tendon). I had sleep apnea and it was very uncomfortable sleeping with a mask in my face, that also give me a rash in my face. I never had a full restful night of sleep, always tired and mad with my self and I was turning into a very ugly person. I was depressed and I seem to take that on everyone. I really didn’t like what I have become. We move to Texas the end of July in 2014 from Plainfield Illinois. I saw a commercial for DFW Bariatric Institute, after talking to my husband I decided to take charge of my life. I called the office and schedule my appointment. The best Doctors’ appointment of my life, (well the 3rd, the first 2 where when I found out of my pregnancies, lol my 2 wonderful children.) I had my surgery on January 12th, 2015. my highest weight was 254 in December, now I’m 206 and I can’t wait to reach my first goal by the end of March 2015 of 199 lbs. I feel happy, healthy, no more insulin, down to to medications, no more sleep apnea and I have very restful nights. I have more energy and feel motivated once again. People have told me that I look younger. I’ll take that any time. Thank you to the doctors and staff at DFW Bariatrics and hospital were wonderful. I have nothing to regret on this journey. It’s very hard but also very gratifying.
