Sarah W.

Procedure: Gastric Sleeve

Story: My first consultation with the doctor was in April of 2015. I sat in the room, scared to death that I would get laughed at. At that time I weighed in at 296 lbs, not the heaviest I have ever been, but the most unhealthy. I began my journey there, first having my gall bladder removed, as my weight had caused me to have excessive gall bladder attacks, then going through my 6 month nutrition visits. On December 7, 2015 I finally got to begin my pre-op liquids and my new life became real! In that short 3 week period before surgery, I lost 20 pounds! Then on New Years Eve, what a way to start off my new year, I had my gastric sleeve surgery. Dr. Holden ended up being my surgeon and she preformed perfectly. I went to Baylor at Trophy Club at 6am and I was home by 4pm! Since having my sleeve, and losing almost 100 lbs I feel like I have a new lease on life. I can do so many things I can never remember doing. I can keep up with my 13 year old daughter and my 12 and 10 year old sons, and I can finally say I am becoming a person that I would want them to look up to! I am so excited to see where this journey takes me. 95 lbs down in less than 6 months and I am not slowing down. I am working hard, eating smart, and finally starting to love life!
