Rachelesparza
- My name is Rachel. I have 3 beautiful children. I had surgery on 3/26/2019 so I could continue my weight loss Journey that I started on my own in 2016.
- My heaviest weight that I know of was 378lbs in July 2016. That's a bmi of 59.35.
- I started to go walking with friends and working out. Then I had a life altering event happen. I left a very abusive and hostile relationship.
- I focused even harder on changing my self and by January of 2017 I weighed 340lbs.
- I got down to about 320 and in March of 2017 I found out I was pregnant with my son. It was hard but i managed to lose 25lbs during my pregnancy.
- After I had my baby I did gain back about 10lbs.
- But I decided not to let my self fall back so I went to Western Bariatrics in San Bernardino, CA and with the help of their dedicated and motivational staff I was able to lose 20lbs more before my surgery.
- Although I started with the bariatric team in March of 2018 I never let the long process deter me from my goals.
- With much communication I was able to get in to a preop class and recieve my surgery date that day.
- To date I am only 20lbs from my 75% weight loss goal. According to Brooke at the clinic I am 2 months ahead of schedule.
- It isnt an easy thing surgery. Its definetly not the easiest route. This journey is the start of my new longer happier life with my loved ones.
