Tell us in your own words how your weight has affected your life:
I was always tiny in high school! Then after my kids were born I started it gradually putting on weight! I had tried every diet imaginable. Nothing worked! After 2 bad divorces I had hit rock bottom! I was at my highest weight of 320. On October 20, 2021 I saw Dr. Trace Curry. I lost 30 pounds in the first 3 months before my surgery! On January 4, 2022 I had the sleeve surgery! Weight day of surgery 290! I am currently at 156! I crave nothing but healthy protein. I race my grandson at the park! Since then, I have been reconnected with my high school sweetheart. He treats me like the queen he feels I am. Life is now the way I always dreamt it could be!
