Procedure: Gastric Sleeve
Total Weight Loss: 83 lbs in 6 months
Medical conditions resolved: Sleep apnea
Before I had Weight Loss Surgery I had low energy and really didn’t want to do much. I had sleep apnea and shortness of breath. I was easily tired out. Never slept through the night. I would get up at least 4 times a night. I always felt like I wasn’t getting enough sleep. I ate constantly not large amounts but nonstop. It took me a couple of years to decide to have surgery. Mostly put it off because of cost. But, turning 50 was a big eye-opener because I realized that if I continued down the path I was traveling I would be 60 and over 400 lbs. I decided that if I hadn’t dropped 50 lbs by my 50th birthday I was having surgery even if I paid cash. A friend of mine had great results with Dr. Stowers so I jumped on board on June 22 2023 for consultation and had surgery on July 26th. Where do I start with how this has changed my life? First no more sleep apnea. I sleep through the night. I have tons more energy. I can shop and buy normal-sized clothes. I would have to say the number one thing I enjoy is being able to do any and everything my grandson wants to do. I am kayaking, riding bikes with him, and saying YES more often. I also love the way my wife looks at me now.
