Where to start......Well, all my life I've been heavy .. When I was a sophomore in high school 6 years ago I lost some weight and was in a size 14 jeans and weighed about 200 pounds. I maintained the weight for about 2 years until I met my husband Carlos...Haha I think I got a bit comfortable. After I had my daughter in Sept. 08 I went from 260 to 300 lbs. OMG, so from high school I had gained 100 lbs. I decided to have surgery the night I went for my seminar in Nov. of 08' and met my surgeon DR. Abkin. Dr. Abkin always had an answer to any question I had and he was very confident I would do very well, but he also warned me of the risks that come with the surgery. My surgeon is one of the top in the country and he is awesome!!! Between all my doctors visits and just plain chickening out to have the surgery it too me about 11 months to have it done... Since my surgery I have lost 140 lbs and I feel great. I do admit I have a problem with getting all my liquids and exercise in. Let me just say the more you don't work out the more skin you're going to have.... It SUCKS!!! But, I can say I love my RNY!!!
The Breakdown:
Month 1: 300-268= 32 pounds lost
