Care
as
they
the
night.
I
was
uncomfortable
and
unhappy.
I
heard
about
weight
loss
surgery
years
ago
when
it
became
more
mainstream,
and
there
were
TV
commercials.
she
inspired
me
to
go
for
it.
Dr.
Yadegar
made
me
feel
like
he
truly
understood
me,
and
what
I
had
been
through
and
was
feeling.
He
has
so
much
experience
in
this
field,
I
trusted
he
was
the
right
surgeon
for
me.
After
talking
with
my
husband
and
my
mom,
I
decided
to
have
the
Sleeve
Gastrectomy.
It
fit
my
lifestyle
and
was
the
right
choice
for
me.
The
day
of
surgery,
as
I
was
wheeled
into
the
operating
room,
I
was
emotional.
I
had
so
many
feelings
of
hope
&
excitement
for
my
healthy
future,
and
sadness
for
my
unhealthy
hand
and
held
it,
and
gently
told
me
everything
would
be
okay.
The
surgery
went
well
and
I
was
after
surgery
and
quickly
understood
how
increasing
my
walking
made
me
feel
better.
I
returned
to
my
job
about
How
really
me!
I’m
running
now,
without
my
chest
hurting
or
experiencing
shortness
of
breath.
My
boys
are
thrilled,
because
now
I
can
ride
with
them
at
their
favorite
Theme
Parks!
My
husband
and
my
mom
continue
had
to
undergo
pre-‐op
tests
and
consultations.
And,
then
there
was
the
pre-‐op
weight
loss,
but
if
I
had
the
after
surgery,
I
am
down
95
pounds.
Thirty-‐one
pounds
came
off
during
my
pre-‐op
diet,
and
sixty-‐four
pounds
since
surgery.
This
is
a
life-‐changing
experience,
and
I
am
cherishing
every
beautiful
moment!”
