"I've been heavy my entire life. I did pills, shots, exercising my head off and it just wouldn't move. I was so depressed and stressed out about it.
One of my girlfriends at work had the surgery. I watched her success and her talk about how wonderful everything was, so I decided I would come to an orientation. That's when my journey began.
I had my weight loss surgery on Monday. I left the hospital on Wednesday. I had no problems at the hospital. I got home on Wednesday, recovery was fast and I went back to work on Monday. I have migraines that are worse than this surgery was!
As a result of my weight loss surgery, I have let go of being intimidated of what other people are thinking or talking about me.
The team at Saint Mary's was incredible from start to finish. The girl at the registration desk, the nurse in pre-op, the nurses in surgery, and the nurses in recovery and during my continuous stay. Saint Mary's is an incredible place to be if you have to be, and I would recommend it to anyone."
