I was not in the 'greatly obese' category before the surgery...I weighed 160 and that was the heaviest I had ever been.
After my hysterectomy, I had started putting on weight fairly quickly and did not want to be any bigger. I tried dieting many times and failed. I had a family member who had gastric sleeve at this same facility one year prior and when I saw her success, I knew I wanted to do it too.
I am 11 months post-op and have lost 62 lbs, weighing in at 98 lbs. With my short stature and small frame, this is a very nice weight for me. I'm very happy with the results and have recommended this venue to many of my friends.
