“I can’t believe it took me this long to finally decide to have WL surgery! I had the sleeve on August 1, 2011 and have lost just over 96 pounds to date. The weight loss seemed slow at first, but looking back, it’s like, “WOW! I can’t believe how fast that came off.” I still struggle daily with my “fat-girl brain” but I am doing great. The support I have received from Nancy and her team has been awesome! I could not have made it this far without them!”
