Before & After RNY with LuvleeLisa’s 180 Pound Weight Loss!
May 24, 2016Celebrating LuvleeLisa's Journey Before & After RNY!
I've struggled with obesity my entire adult life. After going through a horrible marriage and feeling no self-love or self-confidence, I decided to get my life in order because my 1-year-old daughter (at that time) did not deserve to live a miserable life.
Before my surgery, I remember telling my mom that one of my wishes was to finally know what it felt like to cross my legs. What a beautiful thing it was when that day happened!
Before & After RNY WLS
OH Username: LuvleeLisa
Total Weight Loss: 180 lbs
Surgery Type: RNY
Surgery Date: February 15, 2010
Surgeon: Dr. Joel Sebastien
Having weight loss surgery is the best decision I've ever made. I am healthier and can participate in activities with my daughter. Now, I love myself and my life, and with the help of God, I can provide my daughter with a happy life and teach her to have a healthy attitude about food and how to treat herself. I'm proud of myself for maintaining my weight loss since 2010!
This surgery is life changing, and I'm so grateful and happy for this opportunity to live this life!
Special Milestones / Non-Scale Victory
All of my adult life I had to buy wide width shoes and boots. The first time I was able to wear over the calf boots, made me tear up!
I used to be so embarrassed asking for a seat extender on airplanes. Nobody wants to sit next to the "big lady". Being able to fit comfortably sit on one airplane seat is a feeling only people who have experienced it can relate to. It's truly liberating!
Once when I went to an amusement park and I couldn't make it all the way around because I was so big and out of shape. After my weight loss surgery, I took my daughter to the Magic Kingdom at 9:30am and stayed until 11:30pm! I sat down only two times - once to eat and the second time on the Monorail ride! It was a huge milestone!
I can fit on the swings at the park and swing with my daughter. The joy on her face is priceless!
I can finally cross my legs!
