Ocean County woman reflects on the past 24 months since her weight loss surgery
“Happy Surgiversary to me!
Special thanks to Prime Surgicare!
Yesterday was two years since I had my gastric sleeve surgery.
I was over 450 lbs at one point. I lost 85 lbs before surgery. The day of my surgery 04/12/18 I weighed 370 lbs. One year ago on 04/12/19 I weighed 255 lbs.
Yesterday, 04/12/20, I weighed 235 lbs.
Bariatric surgery has been a mental and physical journey
I am still not where I want to be yet (my goal is to be 195 lbs or less).
Maybe I could have been more strict or done more but I moved at my pace. I have been really strict and focused at times and off track other times.
But I have been living my life and happy. I have continued losing weight at a much slower pace but I haven’t gained any weight back in these last 2 years.
I have no doubts I will get there. This has been life changing in so many ways.
Some people I thought would always be by my side are no longer there for all different reasons. Some people I rarely spoke to have become my biggest supporters and cheerleaders. I shared my story to help keep myself accountable and in the hopes that I might help someone else.
I never could have imagined how much support I would have gotten from so many people and the amount of people that have reached out to me to say I inspired them to make changes or even have surgery too.”
