Topic: 4 year Anniversary of my LapSleeve!!!!
Hello All!
The 16th of this month will mark my 4 year anniversary of my LapSleeve surgery! I dont blog much or visit the site daily, but am always glad when I do. Here is the scoop...
5 years ago I hit 'the wall.' I had hit rock bottom and was officially ready to take permanant measures. I was over 300lbs when I started my journey. I researched for about a year. I even bought the online report cards for the surgeons. Definitely not as exciting as I thought, lol.
After all my digging I knew I wanted a place that would take care of me, I went to a seminar at PSSC in Edmonds (Puget Sound Surgical Center). I was amazed at the program, but also amazed my thoughts had changed. I went anticipating information on LapBand surgery... all the rage. I left with a tough decision to make. I was honest with myself and knew the LapSleeve was right for me. (If anyone could manipulate a band it would be this girl).
Best Decision EVER...
After meeting Dr Peter Billing, I knew he was in this for the right reasons. He made me feel comfortable and very informed about what I was about to do.
I still see Dr Billing... I am 4 years out... time flies and it was never easy in the beggining. It is easy now and I have had a lot of help and support throughout my journey. If you want more details on my story, I am on the website too! www.pugetsoundbariatrics.com
130lbs STILL GONE.... Good riddance! Thank you PSSC and Dr B! I can't beleive how fast 4 years flies when you are healthy and happy!
