Well, what can I say? This has been a very hard decision for me but I know I have made the best decision. When I started this weight loss journey, I was 405 pounds. I was able to lose a lot of weight on my own just by calorie counting. I made it down to about 250 and just stopped the diet and went back up to about 296 when I had my first visit with Dr. Yasrebi. I knew that if I didn't do something now, I would be right back at 405 pounds in no time. At this point, I was always tired, never felt like leaving home except for work and some of the "music stuff" that I am a part of. I have a lot of the common comorbidities that a lot of over weight people have. Dr. Yasrebi assured me that I was a good candidate for the surgery. At the time I was getting ready to have my gall bladder removed, but Dr. Yas said to wait that he would do both surgeries. In the meantime, I was starting to have major pain in my side and Dr. Yas was able to get the surgery moved up. My surgery is scheduled for April 7th!!! I am so excited about my new life.
I am an opera singer and I have basically stopped performing due to my weight and I am looking forward to singing again and so much more.
I am going to try to put regular updates on this website if anyone wants to track my progress.
