My starting weight was 250 and I'm 5'4". I was miserable and feeling down. I started researching the sleeve. I was determined to feel better. So after months of research I finally scheduled my surgery. I had a great time and met some wonderful people. Since my surgery at the end of March, I have lost 52 pounds and for the first time since Jr. High I weigh less than 200 pounds. My blood pressure has gone down so I don't have to worry about it. I feel great and love my new body. The only complaint I have about surgery in Mexico was the needles they used are much bigger than you would see here in the US. But other than that the care was wonderful. My grandmother is even thinking about going back for her to have it.
