G.A Total weight loss of 45kgs in 9 months Pre-Operative Health Conditions: Sleep Apnea, Dyspnea, Reflux & High blood pressure

Before my operation I weighed 150 kg. I was always tired, had high blood pressure and acid reflux. I was out of breath and feeling sleepy all day long due to my sleep apnea. I did not like the way I looked or felt. I was always worried what other people thought of my appearance. I underwent a Sleeve Gastrectomy . One year later, no high blood pressure, and freed from my CPAP machine. I was able to go to a regular store and buy clothes right off the rack. I feel great! I have a 2 year oId son and I am sure I will be able to see him grow up!
