My whole life I had issues with my weight and struggled to lose weight. I started having more issues with my knees, hips, feet, and back. I also become diabetic. I was always tired ,I didn’t want to do anything, and I had sleep apnea. I had the gastric sleeve procedure in May of 2019 with a starting weight of 402 lbs. I’m now down to 252 lbs, I’m no longer diabetic, my joints no longer hurt, and I’m more active. I went from a 7XL to a 2XL shirt and size 56 pants and am now down to a size 38/40.
