Before & After Gastric Sleeve with Nancy!
March 15, 2016Celebrating Nancy's Gastric Sleeve Journey!
I’m over the moon happy with the Gastric Sleeve surgery performed by Dr. Roslin from the Lenox Hill Bariatric Practice this past summer.
Surgery Type: VSG
Date of Surgery: 7/6/15
Weight Loss Total: 70 pounds
Surgeon: Dr. Mitchell Roslin
I came to the practice in desperation, having reached my highest weight ever and worried that I would now be subject to even more lifestyle restrictions, illnesses, and embarrassment than I had been in the past. I was worried that I’d never be able to sit on an airplane again, or find a bathing suit in a store, and that I’d become increasingly susceptible to small injuries and existing problems with my liver, lower back, and arthritis. I was worried about passing my unhealthy lifestyle on to my family.
I came out of the surgery with zero side effects, meaning that I almost immediately became more energetic and healthier than I can remember being in my adult life.
While I’ve tried, and at times, succeeded in losing weight in the years before surgery, I have been hampered and discouraged by the difficulties and unhappiness caused by the sheer bulk of my excess weight.
The surgical restriction of my stomach allowed me to take off pounds quickly, more quickly than I ever imagined, which in combination with the advice on nutrition I received from the staff at Lenox Hill, gave me more energy so that I could turn my focus toward embracing exercise, diet, and a healthy lifestyle.
It has been an exciting journey of three and a half months from my surgical weight of 237 lbs to my current weight of about 180 lbs, and it is not over yet!
My Special Milestone
My special milestone so far walking up four flights of stairs at the gym without feeling out of breath!
